Sir Elton John is currently developing a sitcom based on the lives of him and rock 'n' roll pals SIR MICK JAGGER, DAVID BOWIE and ROD STEWART.

The project, entitled HIM AND US, is "basically about the entourage around a star called MAX FLASH who have to put up with this b**tard", the singer said.

"Max Flash is based on me, Mick, Bowie, Rod, all these outrageously behaving rock stars", the 58-year-old star added.

"You know, I'm 15 years sober today. That's changed my life. The energy that I used to spend doing drugs and everything, I spend doing great things, like getting up in the morning, going to Tower Records, trying to find new acts, trying to promote them",Elton confessed.

"I have the most fantastic life. I really love it so much", he concluded.
