Elton John has told Rolling Stone that he is planning to make a hip hop record, and that he plans to work with the likes of Dre, Snoop Dogg and Kanye West on making it (though I'm not sure they've been told this yet).
He told the magazine: "I want to bring my songs and melodies to hip-hop beats. It may be a disaster, it could be fantastic, but you don't know until you try. I want to work with Pharrell, Timbaland, Snoop, Kanye, Eminem and just see what happens".
