An Evening With Elton John and Brandi Carlile, a one-hour concert special featuring live performances, stories about the pair’s friendship and an intimate look at their new collaborative album, will air on CBS on Sunday, April 6 (8-9 p.m. ET/PT) and stream on Paramount+.

Filming on Wednesday, March 26, at London’s iconic Palladium Theatre and accompanied by a live band, John and Carlile will perform songs from their new album, Who Believes in Angels?, which is due April 4 via Interscope Records. The musicians will also play a selection of their individual greatest hits, and an unreleased track by Carlile.

Between these solo and duo performances, the two stars will engage in an intimate sit-down conversation on stage that promises to “pull back the curtain on their 20-year friendship, the journey behind their latest collaboration and share intimate footage from their process,” according to the press release. Additionally, throughout the evening, those closest to the stars — who are both LGBTQ icons —  will pay tribute to the artists’ careers.

An Evening With Elton John and Brandi Carlile is produced by Fulwell Entertainment with Ben Winston, Gabe Turner and Sally Wood serving as executive producers. All three creatives served as executive producers on John’s 2023 special Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium, which won an Emmy for outstanding variety special (live). That win made John an EGOT and added to Winston’s hefty Emmy total, which now stands at 13.

In 2022, Winston won an Emmy as executive producer of Adele‘s Adele: One Night Only, also for CBS, which won outstanding variety special (pre-recorded). (That is the same category the John/Carlile special would compete in if it is nominated.)

John and Carlile were Oscar nominees at the March 2 ceremony for co-writing “Never Too Late” from the documentary Elton John: Never Too Late. They were nominated alongside collaborators Bernie Taupin and Andrew Watt.
