Question
During Elton John's interview, James Lipton mentioned a song that I have forgotten the name of.  Elton John kindly declined to play it, saying that it was too painful (emotionally).  Do you the name of that song?  Thanks for your consideration.

Answer
Hi Pam,

I watched that interview when it first aired, and I think the song Lipton was talking about was "Empty Garden."  It's about John Lennon and was written right after his death.  The only other one I could think of that Elton would decline to play is "Goodbye England's Rose," the Princess Diana remake of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road."  

I hope this helps!
