Elton John to guest edit the Indy

By | Published on Tuesday 16 November 2010

The Independent has announced that Elton John will guest edit the paper on 1 Dec. Hmm, I wonder if they can get European funding for that. 

The 1 Dec is, of course, World AIDS Day, and John’s edition of the paper will raise awareness of that fact. He will also edit the recent Indy spin off, I. All circulation revenue from both papers that day will go to the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

Confirming his plan to be editor for the day, John told reporters: “I’m really looking forward to spending a day in the editor’s chair and I’m pleased to get the chance to put the subject of AIDS at the top of the editorial agenda”. 

Indy Editor In Chief Simon Kelner added: “Elton has been planning this issue for some time and he has quite a few surprises in store. From football to music to politics and, of course, on the subject of AIDS, Elton has much to say”.
