iHEARTMEDIA, in conjunction with PARAMOUNT PICTURES, will air an hour-long on-air radio special with ELTON JOHN on MAY 30th at 5p (ET/PT) to hype the new film about JOHN's career, called "Rocketman," 

ELTON JOHN will personally introduce his favorite hits and recall highlights of his career to 120 iHEARTRADIO AC, Hot AC, Classic Rock, and Oldies stations nationwide and digitally. iHEARTMEDIA stations nationwide will also build anticipation to film’s FRIDAY, MAY 31st release of Rocketman with an official countdown across its stations. 

In addition, leading up to the radio special, snippets from the exclusive special will be featured in the iHEARTRADIO podcast, Icons, hosted by DISGRACELAND’s JAKE BRENNAN.   

Among ELTON's featured quotes:

• “Music saved me and that’s why there’s music all the way through the film. It’s been a constant in my life since I was a little boy. It saved me because I still kept working when I was misbehaving and doing drugs ... I’m still alive because of that…”
• “I want people to come away with the thought that yes, you can survive ... and you need your friends to help you through ...”
• “I'm loving every second of it, because it's honest and it's truthful, even though it's a fantasy. It's truthful about me.”
• “Somebody suggested not having it in the film ... I could not leave the fact that I got married and I was a gay man out of the movie ...”
