Other names noted on the track listing includes Sam Smith, Coldplay, Mary J Blige, and Alessia Cara.

John will also feature on the record, joined by Pink and rapper Logic for a reworking of Bennie And The Jets.

John said: "It's always a huge compliment when an artist loves your song enough to take the time and effort to rework it.

"As songwriters, Bernie and myself are thrilled when singers we admire and respect as much as those on Revamp choose to add their own unique twist in the process. It means that our music is still relevant and ultimately that our songs continue to reach new audiences.

"We're humbled and thank them all for their generosity."

The news comes after the Rocket Man singer announced in January that he would be embarking on a three-year tour ahead of his retirement.

Earlier this year John was joined at a special New York concert by the likes of Cyrus, Sheeran and Gaga.

Revamp is released on April 6
