Elton John has warned fellow British popstar Ed Sheeran that his huge popularity won’t last forever.
The singing legend acts as a sort of mentor to his good friend Ed for the ‘Shape of You’ star ,and running his management company, Rocket.
Speaking on George Ezra’s podcast, he said: “You have a heyday and you have a rest, and the heyday can never be replaced.
“After that I had the common sense to know I’m not going to have a No.1 every time straight away. I knew someone else would take over. It’s cyclical.
“Ed will go through that and I’ve talked to him about it,” he added. “I’ve said, ‘There’ll come a time where this won’t happen every time and you have to accept that’.”
Inspite of saying he is a “dear friend” of the 27-year-old singer-songwriter, the Crocodile Rock star acknowledges even he’s sick of hearing his music on the radio.
Elton added, “On the (American radio) chart, which is the middle-of-the-road chart, Ed is still number one and Shape Of You is still in the chart. It’s like, ‘Why?’ How many times do you want to listen to these things?”
