Elton John gets libel payment
From the Associated Press
Elton John accepted $188,000 in libel damages from a British newspaper Wednesday over allegations that he had asked guests not to approach him at a charity ball.
Associated Newspapers Ltd., which publishes the Daily Mail, paid the damages, according to John’s attorney, Hanna Basha. The Sunday Times, which reprinted the Mail article, agreed on a confidential settlement earlier this year, Basha said.
