Rocket Man drops the F-bomb

Chris Evans is no stranger to guests swearing on his show. Shaun Ryder did it once or twice while he was hosting TFI Friday on Channel 4 , you may remember. But dropping the F-bomb on the Radio 2 breakfast show – as Elton John did today – elevates him to a whole new world of taste and (in)decency. "Jools Holland says the first thing he has to do in the morning is play the piano," suggested Evans. "Oh fucking hell ... " replied John , at which point all sorts of alarms started going off across the BBC. "We must apologise," said Evans, before the singer explained: "I was just so exasperated by that. I can't think of anything worse than getting up and playing the piano. Sorry about that. The remark was just so, eugh! I'm very, very sorry for that awful word I said – Jools Holland." It was entirely appropriate that Evans went on to play the EJ classic, Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word . He might also have played another Elton hit, I Guess That's Why They Call It (Turning The Airwaves) Blue .
