Tiaras & Tears

🚀🎶 King Charles III x Rocket Man! King Charles has joined Sir Elton John in conversation for a special edition of ‘Elton John’s Rocket Hour,’ on Apple Music, celebrating the vital role of music in the work of The King’s Trust in the charity’s Golden Anniversary Year (50 years). The episode, which will premiere on His Majesty’s 78th Birthday, was the first to be recorded at the new Apple Radio studios in London. In the episode, King Charles & Sir Elton discuss meaningful music & songs by some shared favourite artists, with tracks from artists around the world, dating from the early days of The Trust’s founding to this year’s new releases. Visiting Apple Music Studios in London this October, King Charles sat down with Sir Elton before the launch of the Apple x King’s Trust Creative Labs, a new series of specialised workshops to help equip young people with the technology, resources & in-demand industry skills needed to realise their potential & move into work. During the conversation, His Majesty & Sir Elton share their memories of iconic performances by some of music’s biggest stars in support of The Trust’s work helping young people over the last five decades — from the Wembley Arena Rock Galas of the 1980s through to pop concerts in Hyde Park & sold-out charity shows at the Royal Albert Hall. The episode also highlights artists who received help from The Trust at the start of their careers, & in some cases have gone on to support The Trust as alumni. The work of The Trust, helping young people access opportunities, aligns with Sir Elton’s passion for championing new music & rising stars through the Rocket Hour radio show on Apple Music & is reflected in the playlist, which includes tracks by Raye & Skye Newman. 📸: Apple Music / Elton John's Rocket Hour
