Elton John Hands Lola Young His House Keys After Losing Bet Over 'D£aler'

The gesture fulfills a Rocket Hour vow tied to 'D£aler' reaching No. 1, a mark the single has not met in the U.K.

Overview

  • Young posted a Sept. 21 Instagram video showing John handing over the keys and quipping, "Me and my big mouth."
  • In the clip, John asks if he and husband David Furnish can "stay the odd night," and Young replies, "No, sorry, it's mine now."
  • John made the pledge in July on his Apple Music Rocket Hour after calling "D£aler" "the biggest smash I've heard in years."
  • The track appears on Young's album I'm Only F------ Myself, released Sept. 19 via Island Records, and it has peaked at No. 27 on the U.K. singles chart.
  • Young captioned the post, "Since D£aler isn’t no.1 yet, @eltonjohn had to give me his house (as promised)," and thanked him for the gesture.
