Absolutely right: Elton and Taron Egerton became friends on the Kingsman set, and Elton knew he had his leading man for the biopic.
I rarely hear much about the band behind Elton when he made those 70s classics. Nigel Olsson (drums), Dee Murray (bass), and especially guitarist Davey Johnstone were a big part of that sound. (Think of that chiming guitar riff leading off "The Bitch is Back.") Were those guys even in the movie?
