Word got out that the iconic singer was reportedly performing at the president-elects inauguration in January after Anthony Scaramucci, a member of Trumps transition team, revealed the news to the BBC.
Elton John is going to be doing our concert on the Mall for the inauguration, he said.
A few of Johns songs, including Rocket Man and Tiny Dancer, were played at Trump rallies throughout his campaign, much to the dismay of the Crocodile Rock singer.
Eltons music has not been requested for use in any official capacity by Donald Trump. Any use of his music should not be seen as an endorsement of Donald Trump by Elton, a publicist for the singer said in a statement.
John himself has also spoken out about Trump using his music, telling The Guardian in February, I dont really want my music to be involved in anything to do with an American election campaign. Im British.
Perhaps Trump should take his advice here.

Love you, Sir Elton John.

Here's my list for him.
Ted Nugent
Charlie Daniels
Kid Rock
Toby Keith
Lynard Skynard
My wife and I have been talking about how his presidency will absolutely destroy his brand.

The honor of playing for you at your inauguration is not enough Mr. Trump, your will have to pay up.

(3,077 posts)Sir Elton John for not sinking to Trump's level. And thank all of you for the laughs that this thread has produced. I am looking forward to the real show that will be going on, not the ignorguration.

(21,646 posts)Ive met Donald Trump, he was very nice to me, its nothing personal, his political views are his own, mine are very different, Im not a Republican in a million years, he added. Why not ask Ted fucking Nugent? Or one of those fucking country stars? Theyll do it for you"
Why do I get the idea that NYC trump is an unlikely country fan? Probably irks him that is who he is stuck with or has beens like nugget or kiddie rock

Liberal artists don't want the money. They do it for the cause because they are of a higher caliber.

Trump's supporters eat at Waffle House. They would never pay $37 for eggs.
