LATEST: SIR ELTON JOHN has asked for his controversial photographic exhibit to be taken down after it became the centre of a child porn investigation.
ELTON JOHN
The legendary singer donated over 4,000 photos to the show at the Baltic Centre For Contemporary Art, in Gateshead, England.
But the exhibition was rocked after a picture by famed photographer Nan Goldin was seized by police for possibly breaching pornography legislation.
The Rocket Man hitmaker has now urged the gallery to remove the photographs.
A spokesman for the gallery says, "Baltic Centre For Contemporary Art, at the request of the Sir Elton John Photography Collection, has closed the exhibition.
"After the removal of one image from the series it was no longer possible for Baltic to exhibit the collection of works as the artist intended.
"Therefore Baltic is sympathetic to Sir Elton John's request and supportive of the decision."
