Taken from a Q&A done with Elton John in Billboard. He has some good stuff to say about Darren and other artists. Here is the snippet and the addy for the full article [img]smile.gif[/img] Praise indeed from Elton John! [img]wink.gif[/img]

Q: Your endorsement has been instrumental in the development of many young artists. How do you retain that enthusiasm?

A: You get to a certain age. From 1970-75, when we could do no wrong, it was all done on momentum and adrenaline and the fact we were having the greatest time meeting people, we had a great career surge during that time. Then it's someone else's turn, and you switch off for a couple of years because you want a personal life or whatever. You lose that adrenaline and you don't really get it back.

The only way I can get it back is by listening to people. I'm the ultimate record fan. I still go out, as you know, and buy records, I'm searching for stuff because I can't if I'm going to hear Kings Of Leon or the Darren Hayes album, which is a fantastic album -- a new artist has tried something really adventurous and different from what he's done before, but because it doesn't sound like Savage Garden, "We'll wait for the next one."
