Sir Elton John has concluded his Australian tour and took the opportunity at his last show in Victoria’s Yarra Valley to talk about the madness of Trump and the insanity of Kim Jong-un.
“North Korea. America. America. North Korea’, I actually hate it,” he told his fans at A Day On The Green.
He spoke of the ‘uncertain, awful times” saying there are “people being blown up, having acid thrown in their face in England. People driving cars into people and killing them. Violence, hatred, God knows what else”.
As the father of two young children “I don’t want my two boys to grow up in a world full of hate,” he said.
