During a performance at Newcastle's Metro Arena, Sir Elton John dismissed tabloid rumours that he would be retiring from his 50-year career in music (and that he has three chefs).
His comment to the reporter who wrote the piece?
"Fuck off."
The English singer-songwriter held none of his distaste back, elaborating, "The journalist who spread this rumour is an absolute plank.
"I know because she has interviewed me before and it is like talking to a dead newt."
I think the lesson here is that if you spread rumours about Rocket Man, he will blast you back.
