John Lennon Elton John: Did they ever collaborate? Story behind Sir Elton and Lennon songs

John Lennon and Sir Elton John, it seems, had an interesting relationship. In the movie Rocketman, a tribute to John is clear when Taron Egerton, playing Sir Elton, looks at a photo of John to influence his choice of stage name. While this isn’t strictly factual, clearly the pair had a close bond which was important enough to include.
Did Sir Elton John and John Lennon ever collaborate?

John Lennon and Sir Elton absolutely did collaborate, with some interesting circumstances behind some of their working together.

Both Sir Elton and John were keen songwriters, with Sir Elton usually relying on his writing partner, Bernie Taupin, to provide him with lyrics which he could set to music.

Interestingly, John and his Beatles writing partner, Sir Paul McCartney, did not have this issue, as they both contributed lyrics and music to one another’s compositions.
