Sir Elton John is set to demolish part of his mansion and build a huge art gallery in its place.

The flamboyant singer has an extensive art collection worth tens of millions which has now outgrown his homes in England, America and France.

Elton has applied to his local council for permission to knock down a huge garage block at his U.K. Windsor mansion so he can replace it with a gallery to display his entire art collection.

The council has informed the "Rocket Man" singer his application is likely to be approved.

Elton recently added to his collection of homes after buying a $1.8 million apartment in Los Angeles' exclusive Sierra Towers.

The superstar's new two bedroom Sunset Boulevard property is thought to be on the building's 20th floor, and features amazing views all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
