Elton John to write AIDS musical comedy

Fri 17 Oct 2008 In: International News View at Wayback

Sir Elton John has revealed he's writing a new musical film about a gay actor on Broadway who has AIDS. The character has to go back and face the wife and children he left when he came out. Sir Elton says he's making it for Ben Stiller, and admits that the premise might not sound humourous, but promises that the musical will be "very funny". However, he told GQMen.Style: "I'm more drawn to tragedy than 'Let's all have a great time'"
