SIR ELTON JOHN has been accused of using an autocue at his concerts - because he can't remember the lines to his famous songs.

The Rocket Man was playing at a private birthday party in Monaco recently when a photographer snapped a picture of a digital device buried in a flower arrangement, which clearly displayed the words to the singer's 1970 hit Your Song.
An onlooker tells British newspaper the People, "He really got stuck into the performance, giving it everything. But some people noticed a screen hidden in the flowers. Most fans could sing Your Song in their sleep so it's funny Elton needed help with lyrics he's been doing for four decades."
But a representative for the star hit back at the claims, insisting the telepromoter was only used to remind the star of the running order of the show.
