Elton John to Have an Ice Cream Created in his Honor

Flamboyant rocker Sir Elton John is set to have an ice cream created in his honor.

US giant Ben & Jerry’s will launch the Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road flavor to mark his first visit to their home state Vermont.

The 'Rocket Man' hitmaker, 61, will have been to all 50 United States when he plays there on Monday.

The limited-batch ice cream, made from "an outrageous symphony of decadent chocolate ice cream, peanut butter cookie dough, butter brickle and white chocolate chunks," is a take-off on his 1970s album and song "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road."

"It's hard to cram 50 years of musical history that Elton John brings to the table in one pint," said Sean Greenwood, a spokesman for Ben & Jerry's Homemade Holdings Inc.

John collaborated, and has given his stamp of approval to the ice cream, even though he hasn't actually tasted it, Greenwood said.

"He said, 'Chocolate and peanut butter, guys, if you can make something like that work,'" said Greenwood.

Sir Elton said, "I can't think of a more fun way to celebrate my visit."

Profits go to his Aids Foundation.
