Orville Peck has opened up about working with pop music legend Elton John. In August, the South African country singer released his highly anticipated third studio album, Stampede.
Labelled as a duet album, Peck tapped an array of legendary artists, including John, to help bring the 15-track project to life.
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, the 36-year-old star opened up about his experience working with the ‘Tiny Dancer’ singer for their track ‘Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting).’ “[Elton John] is a really funny person to be around,” Peck told the news outlet.
The ‘Dead of Night’ singer went on to highlight John’s “crass“ sense of humour, adding that the former “is always telling funny, dirty jokes and stuff.“ Elsewhere in his interview, Peck also discussed working with the other big-name talent on Stampede, such as Kylie Minogue and TJ Osborne. “I haven’t really done very many duets for features in the past, and so to do an album that has 18 artists on it was sort of very new for me,“ he explained. “But I mean, it was with people that I’ve idolized my whole life.
