Elton can't feel the love for cricketers
Friday, November 24 2006 |
England's poor start to the first Ashes Test has prompted Elton John to ditch plans to watch the action at the Gabba.
The cricket lover starts his 12th Australian tour at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on November 26, 2006 and was expected to attend some of the opening Test of England's Ashes defence.
Elton is due in Australia on November 25, 2006 but he will base himself in Sydney, travelling to and from Brisbane on a private jet.
Sources close to the tour said any interest Sir Elton had in going to the Gabba had been "diluted" by Australia's first innings batting dominance.
England cricket captain Andrew Flintoff is a huge Elton John fan and the pair sang a duet of the classic 70s hit "Rocket Man" at a charity dinner in London in May 2006. "Rocket Man" became an English dressing room anthem during last year's upset Ashes series triumph over Australia.
Brisbane was the only city where Sir Elton may have had a chance to watch any of the latest Ashes series.
