Инстаграм Элтон Джон (Elton John)

The UK’s creative sector is the envy of the world, but we only achieved that success with the backing of our long-standing copyright protection – the world’s gold standard. And it’s paid off: our creative industries drive economic growth and create jobs for the UK, as well as fuelling our ongoing leadership in world affairs.But make no mistake: our position is tenuous. It’s harder than ever to succeed. This is arguably the most competitive global market in our lifetime, especially for new and young British artists.I have been standing up on behalf of young artists because they literally represent our future. The proposal being considered by the UK Government would devastate our creative community, especially emerging artists and those who aspire to a career in the arts.It would allow the taking of our music – and every other piece of art ever made in the UK – without authorisation or compensation. And for what? To help powerful foreign technology companies make profits. That’s just wrong and it’s unnecessary.We all recognise and embrace the fact that generative AI technology offers some incredible opportunities for us all. This is not new. The music community has always been quick to adopt new technologies.We must respect creators’ rights, deliver great experiences for fans and offer new and young artists even brighter opportunities. But adoption of this copyright exception would destroy the UK’s leadership that has been hard won, and what’s worse, it would give it all away. For nothing.Read more and support the Make It Fair campaign at newsmediauk.org/make-it-fair/

Congratulations to the brilliant @alessandro_michele on his magnificent Haute Couture debut for @maisonvalentino. Alessandro made all of my beautiful stage costumes while he was at @gucci. What a joy to see him soar to new heights ????????

I’m so happy to have a UK #1 album with Diamonds. It came out in 2017, which feels like a lifetime ago. This is the first time it’s topped the charts since its release, I’m blessed that so many incredible things have happened with my career during that time. I’m overjoyed and want to sincerely thank all my incredible fans for their constant love and support. Exciting news! ???? New music coming in 2025 ????????????

Wow, what an incredible journey Fragile Beauty at @vamuseum has been! Sharing these photographs with all of you has been nothing short of amazing. A huge thank you to the curators, the brilliant team at the V&A, and everyone who helped make this 8-month exhibition of over 300 curated works happen. To the hundreds of thousands of you who came to see it - and those who shared your favourite images and tagged us - it’s been so inspiring to see what resonated with you. These works are incredibly special to us, thank you for letting us share it with you!

Every year you blow me away with the fun you have with this song. Thank you for stepping into Christmas with me!

Brandi and I sat down with Variety to talk about Never Too Late; how Brandi was inspired to write it, the importance of looking forward, and the bittersweet moments of parenthood. Thank you for speaking with us, Chris ❤️
