Elton John: 'I wish people would write better songs'

Sir Elton John has said he wishes some modern artists would "write better songs".

Promoting his new album, Revamp, Sir Elton told Nihal Arthanayake: "When you listen to even the cheesiest songs from the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s – they are songs. There are a lot of songs in the charts I can’t sing, it’s just a beat."
