Elton John: Phillip Schofield affair furore is homophobic

Elton John: 'Attraction is attraction. It’s no different in the gay world as it is in the heterosexual world or in the lesbian world'

Elton John has said the reaction to Phillip Schofield’s affair with a younger colleague is “totally homophobic”.

In an interview with the Radio Times, the 76-year-old singer claimed a heterosexual relationship with a similar age gap would not have attracted such negative coverage.
