SIR ELTON OFFERED $5.2 MILLION GIG?
SIR ELTON JOHN has reportedly been offered a multi-million dollar (pound) pay cheque to play an hour-long gig for a female Russian mogul.
The British singer is set to receive $5.2 million (£2.6 million) to perform at the launch of the tycoon’s new hotel in Moscow, Russia, later this year (08). If the star accepts the deal, he will set a record for the highest fee ever paid to a single artist A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Initially Elton turned (it) down because he’s so busy. But when the offer crossed the £2 million barrier it was too much to refuse, even for someone of his means. And let’s be honest, £2.6 million buys a hell of a lot of flowers. "He’s on the verge of saying yes." Sir John, 61, pocketed $3 million (£1.5 million) when he performed at a private gig in 2001.
