@charlieputh had two major albums and a string of hits to his name when he happened to cross paths with @eltonjohn and heard words that changed his artistic trajectory, prompting him to abandon his first effort at his third album. Interviewed on the CBS News show "Sunday Morning", Puth detailed how he'd been having doubts about the material when, early in 2020, he went to a restaurant where Elton John happened to be dining. "I'll never forget it," Puth said of the unexpected encounter, which took place "right when I had decided that I was going to start over." Invited to John's table, Puth heard from the out music legend — who had heard a rough version of the album in progress — that his new music was "not very good..." "And I was a little taken aback by that," Puth related, "because it's not like I disagreed with him, but it's not every day you get to run into Elton John at a restaurant and have him tell you exactly what you were just thinking ten minutes prior." Even so, John's frank assessment "stung for about two minutes," Puth recalled — but, he added, he "walked back over to the table, and I just pointed upward and was like, 'That confirms everything.'" Puth subsequently took to Twitter to announce that he had "scrapped" the album "because none of the music felt real." More than two years later, in October of this year, his third album — titled "Charlie" — was finally released.⁠ ⁠ Tap link in bio for more on @EDGEmedianetwork ⁠ ?️‍?????❤️⁠ ?: Charlie Puth
