elton john can't write song
Elton John: I can't write pop or rock song anymore

Elton John has said he can't see himself writing any pop songs in the future.

The 63-year-old told GQ that he has no interest in writing hits now, adding that he doesn't want to compete with current musicians such as Lady Gaga.

"I'm at that stage where I don't think I can write pop music anymore," he said. "I can't sit down and do a proper rock song. It was ok when I was 25 or 26, but not anymore. I like to do my little side-projects like Scissor Sisters and have fun, but I don't think Elton John will be putting any pop singles out."

He added: "Look, I'm 63, I don't want to be on VH1 or MTV. I'm not going to compete with JLS or Lady Gaga."

Despite his proclamations, John was recently confirmed to have collaborated with Lady Gaga on new song 'Hello, Hello' for Disney film 'Gnomeo And Juliet'.

aretha frankline cancel 6 month tour

Aretha Franklin cancels six months of appearances on doctors' orders

Aretha Franklin has cancelled all public appearances for the next six months following advice from her doctors.

The singer, 68, was admitted to hospital in Detroit in October for undisclosed reasons, and also broke two ribs in a fall in August.

Although she is now at home resting, she has been told to cancel all gigs and concerts for the next six months "at the insistence" of her doctors, reports BBC News.

Franklin's publicist apologised for the cancellations and said the singer was "very anxious to get back on the road to perform for her fans".

Among the cancelled gigs is a Christmas show in Detroit that would have seen her perform with Temptations singer Dennis Edwards, to whom she was once briefly engaged.
