Kiss the Fright
Saturday, December 3 2016 |
Elton John jokes he will ask to kiss Russian President Putin when they finally meet.
Elton has been trying to have a sit-down with Vladimir Putin for a very long time now. The singer and LGBT activist first pleaded for a diplomatic conversation with the Russian president in 2015 over the country’s poor gay rights record.
However, while diary clashes and prank calls prevented that from happening, Elton says he is still vying for the meeting and has joked what he might say when it actually happens. “I’m very hopeful it will happen but he is a busier man than I am,” Elton told the Victoria Derbyshire programme.
“What are you going to say to him?” Derbyshire asked.
“Give us a kiss,” r Elton replied before bursting out laughing.
