Bristol Post
|August 22, 2025
COMEDIAN Sir Billy Connolly has spoken about being inspired by touring with Sir Elton John in the 1970s as he releases new artwork.
-
The 82-year-old has released four new limited edition works under his Born On A Rainy Day series, via Castle Fine Art, recalling some of his fondest memories.
One of the pieces, named Saturday Night, shows a piano player in action, with Sir Billy saying the character in his piece “does that leg thing which is pure Elton”.
Speaking about opening for the Rocket Man singer in 1976, he added: “It was that point of the show where he backheeled the stool and it tumbled off the stage. The roadies all dived so that it didn’t break.
