This article indicates that Sir Elton has decided to give up pop music.
http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/w0004462.htmlSir Elton John has confirmed he plans to change the way he releases music in future - he is determined to make records that "fit" his age. The "Rocket Man" has reconsidered his career plan now he is in his 60s and has decided to move away from "pop" and concentrate on producing mature albums instead.

Re: Elton John and Lee Hall to Collaborate on a New Musical
Think you mean animal farm.
It is a great show that people do come and see. Because it's not
just a show for adults, or just for children, or just for people that
like theatre, I'd say for everyone, and it's got so much emotion
behind it. Because who ever comes and sees it, feels the story -
so I think: it's brilliant!" (GM)

Oooops. You're right, jen, I did mean Animal Farm. Thanks for the catch. I've corrected the post. Animal House would be a completely different type of show, wouldn't it?jen wrote:Think you mean animal farm.
