Elton John vs the Daily Mail

Elton John vs the Daily Mail

The singer's management team lash out at the newpapers reports of Elton's staff increase.
Elton John and his management company have started an all-out war with the Daily Mail over articles about the staff taking care of his new son, Zachary.
On Tuesday, the Daily Mail printed an article stating that Elton and his partner David Furnish had increased their staff by more than 50% to take care of the baby and that didn't count nannies. The management company issued a statement the same day to counteract the reports.
"Some reports about Elton are based upon stupidity of the reporter. Other reports are based upon prejudice. Sometimes, as with the latest article in the Daily Mail today, reports are based upon both stupidity and prejudice.
"The article is yet another piece of pathetic journalism by a newspaper with a continuing agenda against Elton."
Today, the Mail continued with their allegations of a big jump in the couple's staff, restating much of what had been in the previous day's article while also saying that Elton was already back recording "hopefully featuring enough smash hits to keep little Zac in rusks."
Once again, within hours, the management team responded:
"Elton's management has drawn attention to yet another stupid article in the Daily Mail's online edition today - reporting that Elton went to an LA studio yesterday, and suggesting that the financial pressure of employing all the extra staff for Zachary is causing Elton to have to produce a new album. It is also almost beyond belief that the paper continues to make a ludicrous link between the accounts for the period ending 31 March 2010 and Zachary's birth on Christmas Day.
"It is truly extraordinary how sour some people can be about what is plainly a very happy event. The Editor must be a very unhappy person."
