Elton John: Hated By The Daily Mail

Fagburn has been wondering how long it will be before we saw Mr Elton John threaten legal action against some of the grim press coverage on his son by surrogate pregnancy, Zachary.

The Daily Mail should consider themselves lucky - no law suit, but an official statement regarding a piece in The Daily Mail - 'Elton's Rocketing Army Of Staff For Zac Increases By Rockets By Half' - has appeared on Elton John's Facebook page;
"Some reports about Elton are based upon stupidity of the reporter. Other reports are based upon prejudice. Sometimes, as with the latest article in the Daily Mail today, reports are based upon both stupidity and prejudice.
