Sir Elton added that he will continue with side projects but won't be putting out a solo single again.
The 63 year-old told GQ magazine: 'I'm 63, I don't want to be on VH1 or MTV - I'm not going to compete with JLS or Lady Gaga.
'I'm at that stage where I don't think I can write pop music anymore, I can't sit down and do a proper rock song. It was OK when I was 25 or 26, but not anymore.'
The Candle in the Wind singer added: 'I like to do my little side projects like Scissor Sisters and have fun, but I don't think Elton John will be putting any pop singles out.'
