Elton John Loses Bet, Gives Lola Young His House Keys


Lola Young’s song may not have reached No. 1 on the charts, but she has received some sweet new digs courtesy of Elton John.

In a hilarious video posted by the rising pop star and musical icon, Sir Elton gifts Young the keys to his house to uphold his end of a bet he sadly lost. “I’m here with Lola, and I said, ‘Lola, if your single didn’t get to No. 1 … that I would give you the keys to my house,’” he says of Young’s track “Dealer.”

Standing awkwardly with John’s arm around her shoulder, Young replies, “Yeah, I know, I’ve been waiting.”

When the EGOT winner asks whether he and husband David Furnish can still sleep over occasionally, Young fires back, “No, sorry, it’s mine now.”

“Me and my big mouth,” John grumbles, after which the two friends start laughing together.

“Since D£aler isn’t no.1 yet, @eltonjohn had to give me his house (as promised),” Young captioned the clip. “I’m sure this is the last time he’ll make a bet … Thanks @eltonjohn , love ya x.”

John wrote in the comments, “Thanks for letting us sleep over every now and then, @lolayounggg!”

“Dealer” appears on Young’s new album, I’m Only F–king Myself, which dropped Sept. 19 via Island Records. The album also features “One Thing,” which reached No. 20 on the U.K. Songs chart and No. 14 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart.

And while “Dealer” may not be No. 1 on the charts (yet), it’s definitely No. 1 in John’s eyes. In July, he spoke with Young on his Apple Music show Rocket Hour, during which he bet his house on the song’s success.

“It’s unbelievable,” John raved of “Dealer.” “It’s the biggest smash I’ve heard in years. I just can’t tell you how proud of you I am because I know what you’ve been through and you’ve come out of it on the other side. You’re going to have the best career.”
