Details

When The Sun falsely accuses Elton John, 39, of 'sordid rent boy sex sessions', the Rocketman blasts it with a whopping multi-million-pound lawsuit…

But for unrepentant editor Kelvin Mackenzie, 40, 'Sorry' seems to be the hardest word. He launches a staggering year-long campaign of media harassment, which could break the Rocker.

In the end: is Elton still standing? Or does the Sun go down on him?

Based on the true story of Britain's biggest-ever libel suit, Henry Naylor's play Monstering the Rocketman was one of the standout shows of 2025's Edinburgh Festival Fringe, winning a prestigious Fringe First Award.

It has its London premiere at the Arcola Theatre in 2026.
