Ice on Fire, released in November 1985, is the nineteenth official album release for
Elton John. Recorded at
Sol Studios, it was his first album since
Blue Moves produced by his original long-time producer,
Gus Dudgeon, who was responsible for John's success in that timespan, but it was met with little praise, and only reached #48 on the US charts, although it reached #3 in the UK.
George Michael, then of
Wham!, appears on two tracks on the album: "
Nikita" and "
Wrap Her Up".
