Thanks for the correction but that still don't make sense why you would even attack shit if you're not cool with it and accept any title regardless where it came from.

I agree. It doesn't add up.

Maybe George is going to sing "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" and they'll get a 2-for-1 deal.

the government and monarchy are 2 different things. he got his CBE (higher than what the beatles got), a while back. it's a different government now. he was going to do the show originally and started early plans for it, but then left. the CBE has nothing to do with it. he fell out with the olypics organiers

That would take away from his Madonna bashing. Priorities, people!

It takes alot of his time to find out what fairground she's stripping at this week. Elton is very busy!

Did he pick these fruitcakes at a fairground by any chance:

Maybe he didn't wanna do it?

we didn't see Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry/Eno, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Sade, George Michael, Oasis, Suede or Coldplay either

so

Duran Duran played Hyde Park just before the Opening Ceremony which then played on screens over there.

George Michael is playing at the Closing Ceremony tonight. I think The Kinks and what's left of Queen will also be there - so I've heard.

That looks like Madonna's last tour. He needs to check himself before he talks again.

I just read that a song of his will be included, whether he will sing it remains to be seen. The soundtrack will include Adele, Beatles, Pet Shop Boys, One Direction, Liam Gallagher, David Bowie, Brian May, Elton John, Queen, the Rolling Stones, the Clash, & The Sex Pistols, Monty Pythonm, Blur

Confirmed performers include, the Spice Girls, Ed Sheeren, Emeli Sande & Prefessor Green, Ray Davies, Jessie J, Annie Lenox, Tinie Tempah, Russel Brand, Eric Idle, Kate Bush, George Michael, Take That (with George Michael taking Gary Barlow's parts should Barlow not perform).

Nick Mason (drummer of Pink Floyd) is rumoured to appear as well.

Anyway, we will have to watch and find out!

He ain't lying though.

thoroughly unimpressed with the closing ceremony. an Elton & Adele duet would've actually been interesting to see
