Who Believes In Angels?, the new album from Elton John and Brandi Carlile, was created from scratch in just 20 days by Elton, Brandi, Elton’s collaborator Bernie Taupin and producer Andrew Watt. That experience was documented on film and will premiere in New York City on April 4, the day of the album’s release.

The 30-minute film series, called Who Believes In Angels? Stories From the Edge of Creation, will debut at the 92nd Street Y. Elton, Brandi, Andrew and Bernie will be there to do a live Q&A about the album.

Fans will be able to watch everything, including the Q&A, on Elton’s YouTube channel starting April 5. April 5 is also the day that Elton and Brandi will appear on Saturday Night Live.

You can purchase tickets to the film premiere at 92ny.org.
