Elton John says that he might retire from recording new music because, as he says, people have enough of his music already. “I love playing,” he said during a recent appearance on Good Morning Britain. “My records don’t sell anymore because people have enough Elton John records in their collection. I love making them, but it’s someone else’s turn now.” John’s last album to peak outside the Top 20 in the U.S. was 1989’s Sleeping With the Past and his most recent platinum release in the U.S. was 1997’s The Big Picture. John released Wonderful Crazy Night, his 32 studio album, earlier this year. “People like Billy Joel, who is a great songwriter and one of America’s finest, say there is no point because people don’t want to hear them. And I kind of get that as well, but it is very frustrating that you play new songs that people don’t want to hear, but I can’t not try and have a go,” John said earlier this year. “Usually when you play a new song people hurtle towards to the toilets quickly, but you have to play new songs.” Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com.
