I don't want to be on VH1 or MTV. I'm not going to compete with JLS or Lady Gaga. I'm at that stage where I don't think I can write pop music any more. I can't sit down and do a proper rock song. It was OK when I was 25 or 26, but not any more," said John.<br /><br />The singer formed half of one of pop's most successful partnerships with lyricist Bernie Taupin in 1967 and has sold more than 250 million records in a career spanning five decades.<br /><br />"I've made 40-odd albums.
