NBC dropped part of an Elton John special due to it featuring a scantily clad Pamela Anderson, the AP reports.
Elton John: The Red Piano was taped at Caesar's Palace, where Sir Elton is currently performing. The section where Sir Elton sang The Bitch is Back whilst Anderson moved suggestively around a pole was cut by NBC.
However, other sections of the show were left intact, including Rocket Man and the video featuring Justin Timberlake as a young Elton John.
NBC released a statement on Tuesday, explaining: "We believed the content was not appropriate for 8pm - 7 Central time - and decided to pull the song from the special."
Anderson has not yet commented on the incident.
