The 'Candle In The Wind' hitmaker rang in 2020 with a new award when he received the Golden Globe for the Rocketman original song, 'I'm Gonna Love Me Again', on Sunday.
During his acceptance speech, John mentioned that their song was so much more than just another item in the Taron Egerton-led film. "This is really sweet because this is not a song we wrote about a movie ... [it] deals with our relationship," Taupin added.
