“Never Too Late” shows him on tour, hosting his podcast with his husband, David Furnish, and hanging out with friends and family, with the film periodically flashing back to that period of his U.S. breakthrough in the early to mid-70s.  It was an era of staggering productivity with lyricist Bernie Taupin, dominating the album charts with multiple Lps, playing on stage with his friend Joh Lennon in New York for waht was to be Lennon’s own live swan song.  However, Elton was also unhappy in his relationship with manager John Reid, abusing drugs, evolving towards acceptance of his own identity as a gay man and searching for love.  Filled with rare and never before seen footage!
