Sir Elton John has admitted he is obsessed with collecting things.
The Rocketman, 77, says he can’t visit a place without picking up some little treasure or keepsake.
Sir Elton said: “I love going round the world and picking up something in Brazil that’s a $5 little statuette of Jesus Christ, or a wonderful painting in New York.

“There’s not one place where I don’t come back with something.”
He added: “I don’t know what it is but it’s given me a lot of pleasure and a lot of inspiration.

“I just love things and I just love images, I like religious images.”
The singer has a huge collection of statues and other objects from his six decades touring the world.
Sir Elton also confessed to chatting to his toys and objects as a child in his bedroom when his mum Sheila and dad Stanley argued.
He told the Talk Art podcast: “I found solitude in my bedroom and I kept all my objects, my books, my records, my toys, in pristine condition.
“I found solace in objects because they didn’t harm me. I just always collected them.”
Elton and husband David Furnish’s photo collection will be on show from today at the V&Amuseum in London.
