Elton John Does Not Like The Rockers` Looks

Sir Elton John, an English singer, composer and pianist, is not satisfied with the modern American entertainment and music stars` looks. He is sick of the tattoos and piercing of the rockers and would rather them to adopt the cutting-edge, glam-rock style made popular by his peers.

The big music and entertainment star, who will perform at the third Fashion Rocks concert September 7 at Radio City Music Hall, said to a fashion and entertainment magazine: "It`s been a thing the British have always been very good at, with Bowie, myself, T.Rex, the Who, Queen. ... We all embraced that side of it. And I think it`s good that some American bands are beginning to do that, but it`s still very rare for bands to make a real effort. So when you get groups like The Killers and Scissor Sisters who come along, it`s thrilling. I`m so over the tattoos and the T-shirts and rings through the noses. It`s not pretty, it`s not pleasant, it`s not exciting. Please stop it now."

In a career that has been flourishing over four decades, Elton John has sold over 250 million records and has had over 50 Top 40 hits, which makes him one of the most successful musicians of all time. John says his theatrical style, made famous in his `70s glory days, was meant "to give people a bit of fun" while he sat at the piano for long sets.
