Elton's foul-mouthed rant on Radio 1
Elton John's anger has reared its ugly head once again.

Fresh from his rant about reality TV shows, the singer shocked listeners by launching into a foul-mouthed tirade live on Radio 1 this morning.

Speaking on the Chris Moyles Show, Elt's first "f***" came shortly after 9am. "I haven't been to the BBC for so long I almost went to the other building," he said. "But I saw Tony Blackburn on a walking stick and I thought 'No, it's the wrong f***ing place'."

After Moyles apologised to listeners, Elton proceeded to ask if the words "w**k", "tits", "bugger" and "bollocks" were acceptable for a live radio interview.

Indicating his answer, Moyles apologised once more, adding: "You're listening to my last show on Radio 1."

Elton's verbal victims in recent months have included Madonna, Robbie Williams and the entire Taiwanese media. This weekend he was also reported to have called Cherie Blair's adviser Carole Caplin a "mindless f***ing turd."
