Elton John has weighed in on the ongoing European touring situation, warning the U.K. Government that the music industry is in “grave danger of losing a generation of talent” due to the “gaping holes” in its trade deal with the EU following Brexit.
In a statement posted on Instagram, John said that if he had faced the financial and logistical obstacles now facing young British musicians who want to tour in wider Europe, “I’d never have had the opportunity to build the foundations of my career and I very much doubt I would be where I am today.”
