Sir Elton John is besieged by the press with the only one question. Is that true that British musician is going to perform at Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration? The spokesperson of Sir John answered it.
Elton John denies any kind of the rumours about his taking part in the inauguration of the US President-elect. The spokeswoman for the singer said that Sir Elton will not play at Donald Trump’s inauguration.
This story about Sir Elton and Donald Trump taking its start from the interview with Anthony Scaramucci, a member of Mr Trump’s transition team. He had told BBC HARDtalk that Sir Elton would perform in Washington DC in January:
‘Elton John is going to be doing our concert on the mall for the inauguration.’
Sir Elton John was deeply surprised with such a nonsense and “categorically denied” these Scaramucci’s words via his own representative in London.
“There is no truth in this at all,”
Joh’s spokesperson told BBC News.
