Sam Fender turned down the opportunity to appear on Elton John‘s new album ‘The Lockdown Sessions’.The pair teamed up for a collaborative live version of Fender’s single ‘Will We Talk?’ at John’s post-Oscars charity party in February 2020. John has since hailed the North Shields singer-songwriter as “the best rock and roll artist there is”.Speaking to the Daily Star‘s ‘Wired’ column, Fender revealed he had to decline an offer to duet with John on the legendary artist’s latest record.
