Sir Elton John recently praised former President Donald Trump.
At the premiere of a documentary about his life at the Toronto International Film Festival, John spoke about Trump, Metro reported.
John, who has been critical of Trump's political actions and legal troubles, praised Trump's use of his song in a political context.
“I laughed, I thought it was great. I just thought, 'Well done, Donald,'” he said.
Trump nicknamed Kim Jong-Un, Little Rocket Man, borrowing the phrase from the singer's iconic song.
Despite his praise, John made it clear that his comments did not endorse Trump's presidential campaign.
“I don't go up on stage and tell people how to vote. It's not my business how they vote,” he said.
John added: “The United States is in a very volatile situation. I hope people make the right decision for a safer future.”
The legendary singer, who recently revealed he has vision problems due to an infection, has retired from touring and is focusing on his health and advocacy work.
