Mr.Talha Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 Stars like Sir Elton John should help the government persuade European Union countries to relax their rules on letting British musicians tour, Brexit minister Lord Frost has said. British acts are no longer guaranteed visa-free travel in the EU and face large fees to tour in some countries. Many, including Sir Elton, have warned the restrictions could "threaten the future success of British music". Lord Frost said the government would benefit from their assistance. He said it would be "extremely helpful" if musicians and music industry bodies could "use their relationships" within the EU "to encourage those governments to be less restrictive". "I said that to Elton John and I will say it to others," he told a committee of MPs on Tuesday. "We need that sort of help and support, and I'm convinced it would make a big difference to help improve the situation."
