Elton John vows to help new artists tour Europe despite “disastrous” Brexit deal
Elton John has vowed to help new artists tour Europe despite the UK government’s “disastrous” Brexit trade agreement.The legendary singer has been very vocal about the government jeopardising the future of touring for UK artists, after its Brexit deal with the EU failed to negotiate visa-free travel and Europe-wide work permits for musicians and crew.He even called the government “philistines” and accused them of “crucifying” the careers of young artists.Today (July 6), John and his husband David Furnish took part in a virtual meeting with Michael Barnier, the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, and a number of others, to discuss free movement and visa-free arrangements for artists.“Very happy to meet & discuss today with @eltonofficial, who
