The knighted pianist is somewhat peeved to learn his latest album sales are rather poor, and says the blame is squarely aimed at the Internet. Sir Elton says the Internet stops people from interacting with each other. Go figure.

What is most curious is why he thinks anyone would listen to a self confessed luddite (doesn't own a portable Mp3 player or even a mobile phone) rant about any another technology.

The other theory behind falling album sales, although no artist would admit it when the Internet is a great scapegoat, could simply be the result of putting out a crap album. Not that I have personally heard it nor do I have plans to.
