Elton Discusses David Bowie

David Bowie doesn't actually take part in David Bowie and the Story of Ziggy Stardust (BBC4), an excellent documentary about the making of the album, and the birth of the alter ego that catapulted him from just an androgynous 1970s oddball to unearthly android and icon, the biggest – and most important thing – in British pop since the Beatles. It would be out of character, and take some of the mystery away, for him to appear as a talking head in a TV documentary, albeit one about himself. Elton John does that kind of thing – not Bowie.

'The Times' Defamation of Elton John

Today The Times newspaper has run a series of articles about tax avoidance schemes, particularly the film finance scheme. Elton John has never had any involvement in such schemes, and yet The Times has included his photograph, and three prominent mentions of his name, within the article. Elton strongly objects to The Times using his name and image in such a gratuitous manner, provoking unnecessary innuendo, and has instructed his solicitor to proceed against the newspaper.

Elton's Backstage Chat in Vegas, Concerns for Lady Gaga

The complimentary magazine in my hotel room features Sir Elton John on the cover. Inside, it claims that the singer's current show at Caesar's Palace, The Million Dollar Piano, represents a back-to-basics approach. This perhaps tells you more about Las Vegas than it does about the show, which, after all, opens with the fanfare from Strauss's Also Sprach Zarathustra, features the titular piano – covered with 68 LED screens that variously light up with colours reflecting the mood of each song, appear at one point to transform it into an aquarium and at another display the face of Kiki Dee – and comes complete with a gift shop selling not just the usual T-shirts and CDs, but Elton John feather boas, Elton John playing cards and scented candles and underpants with the words I'm Still Standing emblazoned over the crotch.
