During the election campaign, Sir Elton had expressed support for Mr Trump's opponent, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Performing at a fundraising event for Mrs Clinton in Los Angeles in October, he was reported to have told the crowd, "We need a humanitarian in the White House, not a barbarian."
Mr Trump had used Sir Elton's songs Rocket Man and Tiny Dancer - without the singer's endorsement - at his campaign rallies.
The Road to Wembley - Adele has announced two dates at Wembley Stadium next summer to round off her multi-million pound world tour. The singer announced the concerts in an Instagram video, where she sang football anthem Three Lions as well as the Match of the Day theme song.
Dubbed The Finale, the performances will see her play to more than 150,000 fans on 29 June and 1 July 2017. Wembley Stadium has not announced any other events planned for that week, raising the prospect that Adele may add further concerts if demand is high enough. Launching in Belfast on Leap Day, Adele's first world tour has incorporated 107 dates across Europe and North America, with more dates to come in Australia next year.
Desert Songs - Bruce Springsteen will be one of the castaways on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs this Christmas. The singer-songwriter will be Kirsty Young's guest on 18 December. He said of his track choices, "This is the music that electrified me - they galvanised me into changing my life in some way."
Island Music - Sir Rod Stewart has been revealed as the Sunday night headliner for the Isle of Wight Festival next year. The 71-year-old singer will be closing the festival, with Arcade Fire playing on the Saturday night. The four-day festival at Seaclose Park, Newport will run from 8-11 June 2017.
Northern Lights - Glasgow band Travis have been honoured for their contribution to Scottish music over the last two decades. The band, who released their first album in 1997, won the Outstanding Contribution to Music prize at the 18th Scottish Music Awards in Glasgow. They also performed at the ceremony, which raises money for music therapy charity Nordoff Robbins.
Other winners included Glasgow alternative rock band Twin Atlantic, who were named best UK band. Biffy Clyro, who formed in Kilmarnock, won the best live act category, while KT Tunstall collected a song-writing award at the ceremony which was held at Glasgow's Old Fruitmarket.
Eating Habits - There is a proper time and place for food and it isn't in the theatre seat, according to actress Imelda Staunton. The Vera Drake and Harry Potter star said in a Radio Times interview that she would welcome a ban on eating and drinking in theatres. "I don't know why people can't engage in just one thing," she said. "I don't understand this obsession with having to eat or drink something at every moment of the day."
Excavations at both the Globe and the Rose theatre sites in London show that people were eating fruit and nuts, shellfish, crabs, oysters and mussels as well as pies, pasties and roasted meats all washed down with drinks of ale, mead and wine.
