LOS ANGELES, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- British musician Elton John has signed a deal with ABC-TV to develop a show on his iconic rock 'n' roll buddies, their lifestyles and their entourages.
John told Daily Variety the half-hour sitcom is being written by "Sex and the City" writer Cindy Chupack and will feature a lead character who is an amalgam of Rod Stewart, Mick Jagger, David Bowie and Freddie Mercury.
"It's not about me, but about everybody we've encountered over the past 30 years," John told Variety. "We've met every star and seen every misbehavior, and it's about the people around the star, who have to put up with them."
The lead character's life will span from the early 1970s until today. John has written a song for the show, called "Him and Us," featured on his 43rd album, "Peachtree Road," scheduled for U.S. release next Tuesday, the Independent reported Friday.
