Matthew Morrison: 'Elton John team-up glorious'

Matthew Morrison has revealed that he enjoyed working with Sir Elton John on his debut album.

The Glee star admitted that it was "surreal" collaborating with the star on the song 'The Elton Collaboration' - a medley of 'Rocket Man' and 'Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters'.

He told the Daily Mail: "Elton is a fan of the show and I told him I wanted to take two of his songs and do a mash-up. He said I could do anything apart from 'Crocodile Rock'.

"I spent three days going through his catalogue and came up with those two tracks. Being in the studio with him was surreal. It was work but it was glorious work."

Morrison, who plays teacher Will Schuester on Glee, also insisted that he is committed to the musical show.

He added: "When I was first approached, I wasn't sure whether it would work. But I was in South Pacific on Broadway at the time and couldn't afford to turn down TV work. So I went along to the audition.

"I knew right away the show was special. It's created its own world. Young fans are exposed to the classics and young men are encouraged to take up dancing. And the older generation are introduced to Kanye West and Lady GaGa, so it's great for everyone."

Morrison recently said that he considers himself to be a "very good boyfriend".
