James Taylor Stage Musical Fire & Rain in Development

James Taylor's music will be coming to the stage in an entirely new way.

Some of Taylor's most memorable hits include "Something in the Way She Moves" and "Fire and Rain," which reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as covers of "You've Got a Friend" and "How Sweet It Is (to Be Loved By You)."

In 2020, Taylor spoke to PEOPLE about his journey to music, recalling how he realized he could pursue it professionally while being treat for depression as a teen. All those years later, he shared how his perception of music and art had changed.

“An artist is forced by their life circumstances to find a new way of dealing with a problem, and sometimes they blaze a trail that leads to a solution — one that other people can use. It’s hugely gratifying,” he said. “All I ever wanted to do was to play music and to have people enjoy it, occasionally use it in their lives, and make it part of their world. That’s a great feeling.”

Taylor isn't the only music star to have their life and discography turned into a stage show. Most recently, Dolly Parton is readying a project, too.
