You're reading: Putin and Elton John ready to meet

MOSCOW - Russian President Vladimir Putin and British singer Sir Elton John have been unable to speak over the phone for several days due to the singer's busy schedule, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

“Putin decided to call him several days ago, but we were unable to get in touch by phone because Elton John was somewhere in Brazil and so forth. He does not sit still, but pursues quite an active position,” Peskov told reporters on Sept. 25.

“For this reason, we agreed that if their schedules coincide such a meeting may take place. At least, both of them are ready for it,” he said.

Peskov offered his comments after being asked whether or not Putin’s meeting with Elton John was possible.
