Jerry cantrell said that this collaboration could be possible because the band was recording near the studio in which Elton worked ...
"We got a call from our manager telling us that Elton wanted to talk to us. We put our lunches on the table, got in the car and sped off to the studio where he was working.”…
"At the time I did not imagine that something like this would happen ... he is a very busy guy doing what he likes. I got a little nervous trying to make a suggestion ... What do you say to someone like Elton John? But he always showed the best disposition"He explained.
