ELTON JOHN - ELTON JOHN: 'I'M A TECHNOPHOBE'

Rocker SIR ELTON JOHN is a technophobe and struggles to work his mobile phone.

The singer has recently begun appearing in TV commercials for telecommunications company ORANGE - but confesses the complexities of mobile living are lost on him, and he has only just worked out how to send text (sms) messages.

Elton says, "It's a whole new language and it takes time to make it out."
