Elton John calls Brandi Carlile his 'soulmate'

Elton John has reflected on his deep friendship with Brandi Carlile, describing their connection as nothing short of fate.

The musical duo have joined forces to release their new single, the gay anthem Swing For The Fences.

In an interview with Them, the legendary Rocket Man singer gushed about the Grammy-winning musician.

"Well, I've been a fan of Brandi's for a long time, but she had been a fan of mine for even longer, and I played and sang on one of her records," John shared, referring to his contributions to Carlile's song Caroline from her 2009 album Give Up the Ghost.

However, their bond truly solidified when they met in person.

"When she came to the studio, I actually fell in love with her, and we've been soulmates ever since," he revealed.

Both artists have lifelong partners outside of music. John has been married to David Furnish for nearly a decade, and the couple shares two sons, Zachary and Elijah.

Carlile, meanwhile, is happily married to Catherine Shepherd, with whom she shares two daughters, Evangeline Ruth and Elijah.

Swing For The Fences is the first track to be released from John and Carlile's first studio album together, Who Believes In Angels?, which lands on 4 April.
