During an interview with BBC HARDtalk on Tuesday night, Trump transition team member, Anthony Scaramucci claimed to be a gay rights activist and mentioned that Elton John would be performing at Donald Trump’s inauguration of January 20. Reps for Elton John have confirmed that Scaramucci’s claim was a lie and that he will not be performing on January 20. John openly supported Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and in March, he and Katy Perry performed at a “I’m With Her” concert at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. Watch a clip of  Scaramucci’s interview via BBC HARDtalk’s Twitter below.
