Short story:

While apartheid is still in force in South Africa, Elton John plays at Sun City Casino, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Full article:

Roger Waters : Elton John went and played in Sun City about 500 times when everyone else in the world was anti-apartheid and said you can’t go and play in Sun City and he said, ‘Yeah I can, I’m the Queen Mum’. You kind of go, 'Well he is just dopey and also he obviously doesn’t give a fuck about anybody else except the lesbian gay whatever whatever community which he does seem to care about.' He will make videos protecting his one little area of people who are having violence done to them but he seems blind to (others). We are all human but some people are human in different ways.
