Welcome to ENCORE! on REJ.World.

FULL EPISODE: A mid-life transfer case, DJ Bill Hornblower makes a career-cramping move uninvited when he swoops on the brand-new Radio Elton John studios and decides to fool around. During this wanton sabotage he fails to damage anything, except spoil the launch of an exciting reset for REJ.World. Hear about all-new Platinum for the price of a coffee, and the launch of the REJ app coming in June 2026! All the things which George planned to wax lyrical about has been unceremoniously revealed in this impromptu episode of ENCORE! Still, the changes are so huge, we agreed on one thing with Bill: they deserved their very own episode. So here it is!

Welcome to ENCORE! on REJ.World.

FULL EPISODE: There is one man who scares Elton. Why? Because he's Elton's double, Ray Johnson. Able to clear security to get back stage at a Paris gig, he's appeared in loads of commercials and even the Franco-Belgian cinema series The Tuche Family. Starting out on ITV's The Lookalikes Agency, Ray has posed for photos with "Rocketman" the North Korean leader's lookalike and even worked four times with Elton - but never been lucky enough to snap a selfie! Hear this amazing story of the man who performed a Very Very Very Very good song, sung by the Muscles from Brussels actor Jean-Claude Van Damme, and appeared on BBC's Have I Got News For You. Pinner also scrambled a song in his honour, I'm Elton's Double, Honest!
