Sir Elton John Behind Blue Break-Up

Former Blue crooner, Simon Webbe, has announced that Sir Elton John was behind the band’s shock split last month. The legendary queen was probably behind Simon too, but that’s another story.

Elton collaborated with the band on hit drivel ‘Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word’ and while he was at it, told the lads that their popularity was decreasing and it was time to crack on with some solo projects.

Webbe explains, "We decided to have a break because Sir Elton told us: 'You have a certain amount of longevity in the business. If you keep releasing pop albums as Blue you'll go stale."

"His comments made sense. He's a legend with almost 40 years in the business. I realised it would be best to take time out."

Simon is also quoted on femalefirst.com as saying: "There were distractions and people were telling members of the band they could do better. Also, I did not want to hold any of the others back." 

 Don't worry Simon, their lack of talent, charisma and good looks will be the only thing holding them back -not you.
