This Sunday March 30, “CBS News Sunday Morning” offers a double dose of musical star power with a pre-special interview featuring Elton John and Brandi Carlile. Before their joint television event, “An Evening With Elton John and Brandi Carlile,” airs on CBS on April 6th, the two artists sit down with Tracy Smith for a conversation about their new album and the creative bond they share. It’s a must-see for both casual viewers intrigued by these music icons and die-hard fans eager for a look behind the curtain of their collaboration.
But the musical theme doesn’t end there. Dr. Jon LaPook examines the increasingly recognized connection between the arts, culture, social interaction, and overall well-being, highlighting how some doctors are even prescribing these activities to improve patient health. It’s a timely look at the power of creative expression and human connection.
Beyond the melodies, “Sunday Morning” tackles weightier topics. Ted Koppel investigates the growing concerns surrounding online sports betting and its potential impact on public health, while Lee Cowan sits down with Maria Shriver to discuss her newfound passion for poetry as a means of self-expression.
In lighter fare, Mo Rocca takes a look at the trend of Broadway adaptations of popular movies (yes, even “Death Becomes Her” is getting the stage treatment), Norah O’Donnell reports on the changes afoot at the Kennedy Center, Faith Salie returns with her signature wit to dissect the absurdities of corporate jargon, and Martha Teichner offers a heartwarming story about whimbrel shorebirds. It’s a classic “Sunday Morning” mix of high and low, serious and whimsical. Tune in to CBS this Sunday, March 30 at 9:00 AM ET to catch it all. The show also streams on Paramount+.
