Elton John said that he was ashamed of the UK for his vote and his management of Brexit.

During his last world tour in Verona, Farewell Yellow Brick Road, he said: "I am ashamed of my country for what it did. It's torn people … I'm very sick of politicians, especially British politicians. I am sick to death of Brexit. I am European I am not a stupid, colonial and imperialist English idiot.

John has already expressed his dismay at Brexit. In July 2018, he said, "I do not think the British were told the truth … They were promised something completely ridiculous and not economically viable." He said the process Brexit was confusing, like "walking in the Hampton Court labyrinth blindfolded, being turned around and trying to find his way."

The profile of the singer is currently as high as it has been in years. In addition to touring the world, he is preparing to publish his first autobiography in the fall. Rocketman, a biopic about his rise to fame and his fight against drug addiction, is currently in cinemas.

He will perform twice in the UK this month, in Hove and Cardiff, before returning in November 2020 for another 18 dates in the UK. He was forced to cancel the Thursday concert in Verona under the orders of a doctor, after his vocal cords were inflamed by a cold, but his direction expects him to be fit enough to produce Saturday in Wiesbaden, Germany.
