This version of the video serves as the ending to the 2019 biopic Rocketman, with Taron Egerton (portraying John) rotoscoped in to recreate memorable scenes from the original music video. In 2019, the original 16mm film negatives were re-scanned and the computer graphics were recreated, forming a newer remastered version of the promotional video. The next morning, John awoke with a hangover and wandered into his personal assistant's room – which was "leveled" – and asked him "What happened?" His assistant laughed: "You happened!" It caused all sorts of chaos, but it was a great party. We got him so drunk that eventually he went upstairs and threw a wobbler in his suite. "Ooh, you are lovely boys," he screeched, loving every minute of it. We decided it would be a laugh to get him drunk and we were slinging the drinks down him. We went up to see him at his hotel and spent the afternoon getting blasted on martinis. This was before Elton became teetotal, so he was still a steaming party animal. There were lots of celebrities around in Cannes and one day we discovered that Elton John was in town, filming the video for his song "I'm Still Standing". In his book, Wild Boy: My Life in Duran Duran, Andy Taylor writes of the experience: "So I did," John later recalled, "I had six." Simon Le Bon decided John should have a martini. He complained he was exhausted at having been up since 4 o'clock in the morning. During the shoot for the video, John came across Duran Duran. Therefore, it had to be filmed again on another day. It was due to be shot over the course of two days, but a camera full of the first day's film was ruined, when Mulcahy accidentally fell into the sea with it. Arlene Phillips, who choreographed the video, said her work on the video is one of the proudest moments in her entire career (via the Channel 5 pop-documentary, Britain's Favourite 80s Songs, on 25 December 2021).īruno Tonioli, later a judge on hit shows Strictly Come Dancing for BBC (UK) and Dancing with the Stars for ABC (US), appears as one of the dancers in the video. It also features the colours of the Flag of France. The music video, directed by Russell Mulcahy, was shot in Cannes and Nice on the Côte d'Azur in France. Helped by a video promoting the song on MTV, "I'm Still Standing" became a big hit for John on both sides of the Atlantic, peaking at No. It was the second single released from the album in the UK, and the first single released in the United States. " I'm Still Standing" is a song written by English musician Elton John and songwriter Bernie Taupin, from John's 1983 album Too Low for Zero. " I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues" ![]()
