Benevolent means according to Elton John.

British musician and singer Elton John believes the media are more lenient in the United States with celebrities in UK. "Americans believe that the stars are like members of a royal family and leave them alone," said John, 68, in a long interview with the magazine "Rolling Stone". "In England there could have been an Elvis Presley because he would not have had the opportunity to withdraw from public life."

The author of numerous songs of worship as "Your Song" or "Candle In The Wind", says British newspapers are very hard sometimes with celebrities. John has had several legal battles with a daily mass in their country. The musician has just released his new album, "Crazy Wonderful Night", the number 32 of his career, and in March in the US begins a world tour.
