AceShowbiz - Elton John, notorious for his explosive temper, allowed cameras into his studio for the first time. He gave fans a glimpse behind the scenes of his latest album, "Who Believes in Angels?," which was recorded with Brandi Carlile in a whirlwind 20 days.

Behind-the-scenes footage reveals Elton's fiery outbursts, including slamming his headphones, tearing up sheet music, and declaring, "I'm going home." The veteran musician admitted to being exhausted, insecure, and irritable during the recording process.

Producers and collaborators alike witnessed his explosive temper, with one producer exclaiming, "You are so impatient!" and another said, "I am just trying to make the song as best as it can be." Even Brandi Carlile acknowledged struggling to connect with him at times.

Despite the drama, the "Yellow Brick Road" hitmaker remained committed, driven by a desire to continue improving. "I wanted to play better, sing better, write better, and challenge myself at the age I am," the 77-year-old icon stated.

The album marks a new chapter for Sir Elton, who views it as "the start of my career Mark 2," while he has been struggling with health issue including an eye infection that made him partially blind. He described the record as a mix of genres, with ballads, rock and roll, and psychedelic elements.

Despite his health challenges, Sir Elton remains optimistic, expressing his gratitude for the creative experience. "This was one of the greatest musical experiences of my life," he said.

"Who Believes in Angels?" is set for release on April 4.
