Veteran singer Rod Stewart has blasted Elton John's retirement tour, saying it is "dishonest" and "stinks of selling tickets".
Stewart, 73, was asked by a fan about John's 300 date 'Farewell Yellow Brick Road' world tour during his appearance at the "Watch What Happens Live" with Andy Cohen.
"I did email her (Elton) and said: 'What, again dear?' And I didn't hear anything back. Talking about retirement, I've never spoken about retirement, and if I do retire, I won't make an announcement. I'll just fade away," Stewart said.
"I don't think this big deal: 'I'm going to retire', it stinks of selling tickets," he added.
When Cyndi Lauper, who is touring with Stewart this summer, remarked that a retirement tour was "not a bad idea", Stewart retorted, "It's dishonest. It's not rock and roll."
