King Charles to join Elton John’s Rocket Hour for charity anniversary
The November 14 Apple Music broadcast will mark 50 years of The King’s Trust and the king’s 78th birthday.
King Charles will appear on Elton John’s Rocket Hour on November 14 to discuss his charity’s 50th anniversary and music’s contribution to its work, Apple Music and Buckingham Palace announced. The broadcast also coincides with his 78th birthday.
Charles founded The King’s Trust in 1976. According to Reuters, the conversation includes memories of fundraising performances, from rock galas at Wembley Arena in the 1980s to concerts at Hyde Park and the Royal Albert Hall. Reuters reported that the episode was the first recorded at the new London radio studios operated by Apple Music.
Apple Music 1 will premiere the interview at 9 a.m. GMT (4 a.m. ET / 1 a.m. PT). Further airings are scheduled across the weekend on that station and Apple Music Hits, with on-demand access afterward.
John began hosting Rocket Hour in July 2015. The program has aired more than 470 episodes, combining artist interviews with new releases and older songs.
