In a bizarre bit of reprogramming an interview with the prime minister has been replaced by a chat with Elton John as part of the first breakfast show on the new look LBC – the London news radio station acquired by Chrysalis last year. With the talk station back on FM producers had hoped Tony Blair would take part in a telephone chat as part of the new look breakfast show fronted by Jane Moore. But when it came clear that didn’t fit in with Blair’s schedule they opted for an interview with Elton John, best man at Moore’s wedding to Sony boss Gary Farrow last year. No word on what John’s viewpoint on gun crime legislation or the situation in Iraq were, but nice to know Elton is ready to fill in should Blair become unavailable to run the country.
