Washington (ANI): Sir Elton John has blasted TV reality show 'X Factor', insisting that he would rather lose his genitals than watch it. The 'Rocket Man' is due to perform a concert in London on New Year's Eve with the 2008 X Factor winner Alexandra Burke also lined up to appear at the gig.
But he has risked sparking a row with organisers by blasting the TV show, in which contestants battle for a record contract by singing their own versions of classic songs in a weekly knock-out competition, reports Contactmusic.
During a show at London's O2 Arena on Saturday, John said he would rather have his "c**k bitten off by an Alsatian (dog)" than watch the show. "My balls too," he added.
