Elton John is developing a sitcom for US television network ABC, according to a report in Thursday's Daily Variety.
John told the magazine that the show would follow the story of an aging rock star and the people around him. He noted that the concept for the show was not based on himself but instead an amalgamation of other music icons including Mick Jagger and Rod Stewart.
"It's not about me, but about everybody we've encountered over the past 30 years," he told Variety. "We've met every star and seen every misbehaviour. And it's about the people around the star, who have to put up with them. It's an upmarket Spinal Tap."
