Elton and Bernie have been writing partners for over 50 years. Elton admitted, “Without him, I wouldn’t be here. He starts the process. He gives me the lyrics, and then I go ahead. Without the lyrics, I’m nobody. This is the man who started the journey, and we are still together after 53 years. … I’m so thrilled for him because I love him so much.”

Bernie replied, “The basic theme of the whole movie is love and trust and believing in the person you are working with. I mean, it’s like a marriage, you know? It really is. And one of the things that makes it work is being different, having different lives, leading different lives, and — always coming back together for the music. The music is the thing that has run through the bloodline of our veins ever since we first met.”

Congrats to both of them for winning the Oscar! Watch the Oscars performance of the song “I’m Gonna Love Me Again” below:
