Matthew Morrison says Elton John buys the music of `every new artist that comes out`

Morrison, 32, who plays a hunky teacher in the hit TV programme, has just released his new album on which he collaborated with Sir Elton, among others. 'The only trouble with duetting with Elton John, Sting and Gwyneth Paltrow is like, where do I go from there?' Morrison told the hosts on the US morning show Regis and Kelly.

'It was quite a learning experience. Being in the studio with Elton, he's such a student of music, every Tuesday he buys every single new artist that comes out. He was playing me this guy, Plan B who just came out and... I learned so much from him.'

Morrison, who shot to fame after being in the Broadway show Footloose, also denied rumours that he was leaving Glee.

'Is it true that your character is going away from the show?' asked host Regis Philbin, 79.

'No, that's not true, don't believe it guys,' said Morrison who also gave an emotional performance of his new single, Still Got Tonight, on the US morning show.
