Elton John Reveals The Song He Will Never Sing Again After End Of Tour
Elton John, who is preparing to restart his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour, revealed he'll "probably throw a party" to celebrate never having to sing "Crocodile Rock" ever again, saying it's not among his favorites.
"The last time I have to sing Crocodile Rock I will probably throw a party," John said while speaking on Watford FC footballer Troy Deeney's "Deeney Talks" podcast. He added that he will never sing the song again after his tour ends in 2023.
"It was written as a kind of a joke, like a pastiche," he said. "And it became a big hit and people love to sing along - so who am I to say 'I am not going to play it' because I play to amuse and to entertain people. But I have to say when the last show is done at the end of the tour I will never ever sing that song again."
"Crocodile Rock," written by John and Bernie Taupin, earned John his first U.S. No. 1 in 1973, and went platinum.

P!nk Drops Title Track From Upcoming Live Album 'All I Know So Far'
P!nk released the title track from her upcoming live album, All I Know So Far, on Friday (May 7).
The accompanying music video features her husband Carey Hart and their two kids along with cameos from an angelic Cher and actress Judith Light.
Oscar-and Gold Globe-winning duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul wrote the song, which is about P!nk's perseverance and strength. Greg Kurstin produced the track and Dave Meyers directed the visual.
"I wish someone would have told me that this life is ours to choose/ No one's handing you the keys or a book with all the rules/ The little that I know I'll tell to you/ When they dress you up in lies and you're left naked with the truth," P!ink sings to the accompaniment of a gently plucked acoustic guitar.
The video finds P!nk telling her son a fairy tale about her life that includes her battling a trio of pig-faced giants, running through a shower of slings and arrows and stumbling through a desert filled with several images, including floating eyeballs.
The P!nk: All I Know So Far documentary, directed by Michael Gracey, is set to premiere on Amazon Prime on May 21.

Madame Tussauds Unveils New Ariana Grande Wax Figure
Ariana Grande standing as a wax figure from Madame Tussauds Hollywood has been unveiled.
The eye-catching superstar is posed in her new luxurious set reminiscent of a scene from the icon's "7 Rings" music video and looks stunning in a black lace Oasis 2-piece worn with an oversized white feather jacket dropping off her shoulders and glittery platform heels.
Grande's wax figure is exhibited across the street at The Hollywood Roosevelt hotel for an exclusive experience for her fans.
Fans can book the hotel's A-list room to host a party with their friends and "to chill on a lounge and pour 'bottles of bubbles' over a pyramid of champagne glasses," Madame Tussauds Hollywood announced.
They're also allowed to pose for a photo with Grande's wax figure.
