Elton don't stop there anymore

England's poor start to the Brisbane Test has prompted Sir Elton John to ditch plans to watch the action at the Gabba, according to ninemsn.

Elton starts his 12th Australian tour at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Sunday night and was expected to attend some of the opening Test of England's Ashes defence. Sources close to the tour said any interest Sir Elton had in going to the Gabba had been "diluted" by Australia's first innings batting dominance.
