Elton John has declared that Fontaines D.C. are “the best band out there at the moment”.The pop icon made the statement during the band’s appearance on his Rocket Hour show on Apple Music this week, where he conducted an interview with Fontaines frontman Grian Chatten.“For me, you’re the best band out there at the moment,” John said during his introduction of the group.“Having watched you at Glastonbury, having heard the new album, you’ve just grown every album,” hw told Chatten. “You seem to have found your feet with this album in such a big way…it’s a brilliant record.”The praise continued, with the ‘Your Song’ singer adding: “I think this album takes you – and I’ve been around for a long time – to a different level, and it’s going to stay around for a long, long time.
