Sir Elton John Inspires Ben + Jerry Ice Cream

Legendary rocker SIR ELTON JOHN is to be immortalised in ice cream - cool treat kings Ben + Jerry have created a new flavour in his honour.

The Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road flavour is inspired by the Candle in the Wind hitmaker's first ever concert in Vermont - the home of Ben + Jerry - later this month (21Jul08).

The flavour is described as "an outrageous symphony of decadent chocolate ice cream, peanut butter cookie dough, butter brickle and white chocolate chunks."

But fans with a sweet tooth will have to hurry; the flavour is a limited edition only and will only be sold in the state from 18-25 July (08).

Sir Elton John joins Phish, Jerry Garcia and Dave Matthews who have all had Ben + Jerry flavours named after them.
