Egypt’s musician’s union Sunday rejected plans for British singer Elton John to perform a private concert scheduled for May 18, because of his “controversial remarks attacking religions”.
The pop superstar, 63, stirred controversy after his remarks to US celebrity news magazine Parade in February, where he said “Try being a gay woman in the Middle East – you’re as good as dead”, after saying he believed Jesus was “gay”.
In 2008, Elton John performed in the United Arab Emirates to a crowd of more than 13,000 fans.
