Pop King Elton John In Autocue Scandal


Sir Elton John can't seem to remember the words to his own hit Your Song despite singing it for 39 years.

The superstar had an autocue hidden in a flower arrangement on stage while playing a private birthday party in Monaco.

Elton first released the ballad in October 1970 and has sung it hundreds of times since then, seeing it re-enter the charts at number 4 in 2002.

But even the first line "It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside" was on a teleprompter as he played at the gig for a rumoured £1million at the Hotel de Paris.

One partygoer said: "He really got stuck into the performance, giving it everything.

"But some people noticed a screen hidden in the flowers.

"Most fans could sing Your Song in their sleep so it's funny Elton needed help with lyrics he's been doing for four decades."

The song, penned with Bernie Taupin, was the pop knight's first hit single, reaching the top ten on both sides of the Atlantic.

A representative for the star insisted the autocue was only used to remind the star of the running order of the show.
