King Charles III Joining Elton John For ‘Rocket Hour With His Majesty The King’ Special on Apple Music

King Charles III will join Elton John for a special episode of John’s Apple Music show, Rocket Hour, to mark 50 years of The King’s Trust and highlight music’s role in its work with young people. The programme will air on the King’s 78th birthday and reflects his and John’s longstanding links with the charity.

The hour-long discussion will revisit memorable benefit performances and artists who received early support from the Trust, including Muse, whose grant helped them buy sound equipment. The episode’s playlist includes Muse’s “Feeling Good”, Skye Newman’s “Hairdresser” and Nectar Woode’s “Wine Into Water”. It premieres at 9am GMT on Apple Music 1, with further free broadcasts across Apple Music 1 and Apple Music Hits over the weekend.
