Sir Elton John wants the internet shut down because it is destroying music. The 'Candle in the Wind' singer believes cyberspace is stifling creativity and lowering the standards of popular music.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth is set to attend the memorial service to mark the 10th anniversary of the death of Princess Diana.

Sir Elton John is building his own private photography gallery at his British home.

The 'Rocket Man' singer is spending millions of dollars on the gallery which will be located in the grounds of his Windsor estate.

50 Cent demands $500,000 to perform at a private party. The hip-hop star was paid the enormous fee for just 30 minutes work the last time he rapped at a private bash, to celebrate a Jewish boy reaching the age of maturity.
