Sir Elton John has become the latest celebrity to leave Twitter since its acquisition by Tesla boss Elon Musk.
The singer, a headline act for next year's Glastonbury Festival, blamed the platform's "change in policy" around misinformation without elaborating.
Twitter stopped taking action against accounts spreading misleading information about Covid-19 last month.
In response to Sir Elton's announcement, Mr Musk said he hoped the star would be back.
In what could be his last ever tweet, the Rocket Man singer wrote: "All my life I've tried to use music to bring people together. Yet it saddens me to see how misinformation is now being used to divide our world.
"I've decided to no longer use Twitter, given their recent change in policy which will allow misinformation to flourish unchecked."
Twitter's controversial CEO, who began referring to himself as the company's Chief Twit after buying it, replied to the post saying: "I love your music. Hope you come back. Is there any misinformation in particular that you're concerned about?"
Since Mr Musk completed his $44bn (£38.1bn) Twitter takeover in October, there has been controversy over the Covid policy roll-back, as well as other moves such as reinstating some previously suspended accounts and charging users for their "blue tick".

I did not know he was on Twitter nor do I care.
Sir or madam?
I knew he was a nobody even *before* I knew he was a pervert.
How would Twitter know what id or is not “misinformation”?
Typical drama from a queen…
The ignorance of people to believe their point of view is the only correct one and they God forbid should NEVER have to tolerate another point of view is astounding!! Twitter had become a bastion of nothing but hatred spewing everywhere YET Sir Elton John wishes to leave that vile environment WELL BYE!!
Devastating news for Twitter...
Quit by a queer...

There’s a recording of Duane Allman in 1970 saying Elton John has a powerful voice
He did
Why people like him can’t just shut up and sing is progoing to be explained sooner than people like Elton John might be sorry for.
They can’t handle the truth?
Who cares what that fruit says or thinks about ANYTHING?!!?
Some guy on Twitter claimed that Elton John was gay, and they wouldn’t take it down. So, can’t blame him for leaving.
I bet that bitch will be back.
Who gives a tinkers damned what Elton homo does. I threw away his music when I learned he was homo. Not just for that but for his crap he said about my LORD Yeshua. THAT more than anything else did him in with me. Even if I am listening to oldies on the radio, when his music comes on, I tune him out and go to another channel.
Good answer.
NAH; Just FAGGOT!
