However, a representative for Sir Elton told the Press Association this is untrue.

Sir Elton was a vocal supporter of Trump’s opponent Hillary Clinton, performing at a Los Angeles fundraiser for her just weeks before the election.

At the event Sir Elton reportedly said of Clinton: “We have to elect this humanitarian — we cannot let this barbarian (Trump) in office.”
