Famous homosexual Sir Elton John has attacked his label, Universal. Not physically, we've got to add. That'd be mean.

The singer - a regularly outspoken sort at the best of times - was performing in New York t'other night (November 1) when he commented on the label's apparently poor promo campaign for his latest long-player, The Captain And The Kid.

He said: "Nobody would know the album has been out since September. My record label isn't doing anything to help. Fuck Universal. Please drop me. I'm 58 and I don't care anymore."

Elton was playing at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Sometimes he plays silly buggers with his hubby, too.
