"I have always loved coming here,
coming to this country, ever since I first played here in 1979. I love Russia –
I love its art and its culture. But most of all, I love you,
the people. You took me to
your hearts all those years ago, and you have always welcomed me with warmth
and open arms every time I have visited. You have always embraced me, and you
have never judged me. So I am deeply
saddened and shocked over the current legislation that is now in place against
the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community here in Russia. In
my opinion, it is inhumane and it is isolating."
Elton John uses a gig in Moscow as a suitable soapbox from which to attack Vladimir Putin's new persecutory legislation.
