Elton John tells UK privacy trial he was ‘incensed’ by Daily Mail hacking allegations

Singer Elton John told London’s High Court on Friday he was incensed to learn of allegations his landline phones had been bugged on behalf of the Daily Mail, saying the papers’ actions were “outside even the most basic standards of human decency”.

The veteran singer, known for hits such as “Rocket Man” and “Your Song”, is suing Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail, for alleged widespread privacy intrusions along with his husband David Furnish, Prince Harry and four others.
