The special recording on Elton John’s Rocket Hour focused on how sell-out showstoppers have helped fund the work of The King’s Trust over five decades, which continues to support young people today.His Majesty’s charity is marking its 50th anniversary this year and has supported several music artists kickstart their careers – supporting new artists as alumni later down the line.Muse received a grant from the then-Prince’s Trust to buy sound equipment when starting out as a band under the name Rocket Baby Dolls and, in a full circle moment, staged a sell-out concert at the Royal Albert Hall in support of The Trust in 2018.After the special royal recording last month, Sir Elton said: “I learnt a lot from speaking to His Majesty. Hearing about the artists who have been involved in The King’s Trust reinforces the great work that has been done over the last 50 years. I know from presenting my Rocket Hour show that if you champion a young artist and show you believe in them, it makes all the difference. That’s the greatest thing you can do. Young people are our future and the King’s Trust are doing a wonderful job.”
