A new Elton John documentary is set to be released soon, and we're eagerly anticipating streaming it online. Elton John: Never Too Late chronicles the five-decade career of one of music's most iconic figures.

The film will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday, Sept. 6, and European premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on Thursday, Oct. 10.

The TIFF program writes, "Weaving together intimate interviews with never-before-seen archival footage and photographs, (R.J.) Cutler and (David) Furnish (directors) slowly reveal the megastar, from his prodigious childhood talent, through all his self doubts and demons, to where he has landed today. ‘This is where you start to think about mortality,’ the 77-year-old says, and it proves to be a powerful motivator to take stock."
