Elton plays charity gig for free
Elton John agreed to perform for free at a charity benefit party held at The Osbournes' Beverly Hills mansion at the weekend, after hearing that two of his peers were charging to play.
Elton helped raise over $1m (€816,300) at the event, a joint benefit for his own AIDS Foundation and Sharon Osbourne's Colon Cancer Foundation, and admits he was disgusted that other stars insisted on payment.
