Summary

Superstar Elton John commemorated the 50th anniversary of his successful songwriting partnership with Bernie Taupin with an ultimate greatest hits compilation entitled 'Diamonds,' and took Stephen through his entire catalogue (Original Air Date: November 13th, 2017). Six-time GRAMMY award-winner Brandi Carlile tells Stephen about the trials she faced navigating her faith journey as a young queer woman. Find that story and more in her new memoir, 'Broken Horses' (Original Air Date: April 6th, 2021). Next up, they've been telling the story of their lives separately for 20 years, but rarely agreed on the details, so musicians Tegan & Sara Quin decided to work together on their memoir 'High School' (Original Air Date: September 27th, 2019).
