SIR Elton John is planning a return to the stage - the ROCKET MAN is ready to write another musical.
The singer has previously composed scores for theatre hits Aida and the Lion King, as well as Billy Elliot the Musical, based on the 2000 film, and insists he is eager to begin working on another theatre project.
He tells Britain's GMTV, "I'm in the right mood to write a musical now. It's been a long time since I wrote Billy Elliot and then I had a musical called Lestat which ran for about four months, and closed... It was about vampires, which are very en vogue but they weren't (then). I've had my flops as well as my hits but I'm ready to write again. I have no idea what it's going to be about (but) not about bats!"
But the star admits being a part of live stage shows can be nerve-wracking: "When you're in the audience, you're not in control. When I go on stage, I'm totally in control of what I do and if anything goes wrong I'm in control of that. If you're sitting in the audience and something goes wrong - actors forget their lines or something goes wrong with the music - you're sitting there thinking, 'Please God, please God.'"
