Queen guitarist Brian May has called Sir Elton John a 'silly boy' over Elton's reported comments that Queen's hit West End musical We Will Rock You is uncreative.
May said: 'Elton is a silly boy really for commenting on a piece of work he's never seen. I know damn well We Will Rock You is one of the best entertainments ever - simply because literally millions of people say so, who have seen it and go back again and again, from all countries of the world.
'It will soon have broken the record for any show in the Dominion. These things are not achieved without a certain creativity.'
May has also taken a snipe at Elton's upcoming musical Billy Elliott saying, 'Billy Elliott, the Musical?. I wish 'em luck, but the film didn't do it for me. Does it rock?.
'I guess if Billy Elliott the Musical is still playing to ecstatic packed houses after three years in the West End, we'll take it seriously.'document.write(unescape("
