Elton John Says Ed Sheeran's Fame will not last

Sir Elton John who was also Ed Sheeran’s mentor during his rise to fame said during an interview with George Ezra and Friends podcast that the ‘shape of you’ star fame will not last forever and that his getting annoyed with his music.
 ‘You have a heyday and you have a rest, and the heyday can never be replaced.’
 ‘After that I had the common sense to know I’m not going to have a No.1 every time straight away. I knew someone else would take over. It’s cyclical.’
 ‘Ed will go through that and I’ve talked to him about it. I’ve said, “There’ll come a time where this won’t happen every time and you have to accept that”.’
‘On the (American radio) chart, which is the middle-of-the-road chart, Ed is still No.1 and Shape Of You is still in the chart.

‘It’s like, “Why?” How many times do you want to listen to these things?’

He also talked about hating modern technology;

‘I hate mobile phones, camera phones. I don’t go out anymore. There’s no privacy anymore. When I started out there were no mobile phones, no kind of paparazzi, we had it so easy.

‘You can afford to be out of your mind and behave extraordinarily badly in public and no one would be able to take a photograph, which I did many times! Unfortunately that’s all changed with the advent of technology. Going out now is an effort.’

Okay,Sir Elton.
