00:00Hi, I'm Elton John, welcome to my Rocket Hour.
00:02This week my special guest, and I really mean special guest,
00:06I'm so excited to hear what he's going to say about music,
00:09about the King's Trust and memories that we both share.
00:14You've informed me of things that I didn't know
00:16and it's reaffirmed in my mind what a great and wonderful thing
00:22you set up at the Prince's Trust years ago
00:24and continue to do on a daily basis these days.
00:27You know, championing young people is something I know
00:30you've always loved to do in your life anyway,
00:32but for the arts and music it's really important
00:35and the fact that you've done this and you continue to do it
00:37is an incredible feather in your cap and I congratulate you.
00:41We are so richly blessed with the talents of our musicians,
00:44singers and performers, particularly yourself if I may say so,
00:48as you've become such a national treasure after all these years
00:52of everything you've done for so many people.
00:54I'll be on the Antics Roadshow now.
00:55Well, anyway, join the club.
00:58I never knew that some of these musicians were involved in the Trust
01:01and it's great news to me and it shows all the great work.
01:04It reinforces for me all the great work that you've done
01:07all these 50 years because I had no idea.
01:09So, bravo.
01:10But it is wonderful to see the difference that could be made
01:12through the Trust's programmes to people's self-confidence and self-belief.
01:16If you champion someone and you believe in them,
01:18it makes all the difference.
01:19Well, really what I was trying to do was invest in the future.
01:21Yes, but also investing in talent.
01:24Yes, of course.
01:25That's the greatest thing you can do.
01:26Young people are our future and you're doing a wonderful job.
