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".

BBC search results for “Elon Musk”. EVERY TRIVIAL LITTLE STORY EXCEPT FOR TWITTER FILES I, II AND III. listen to a lot of BBC World Service Radio (to note the propaganda) and have never heard mention of the explosive Twitter drops:

I agree. Elton attacked Christians who don’t kowtow to the trendy set. Even Boy George is less repulsive.
“the rocket man singer”
🙄
That there is gay.
Burnin’ out his fuse all there alone...
Only song I ever liked by Elton was his first hit “ Your Song “ .
That’s a shame.
Like a candle in the wind. Bye Felicia!
These images have been pretty well scrubbed from searches, hard to find, but there used to be images of very young looking "boy scouts" dancing provocatively around him on stage.
He is a Sir. About 12 years ago, he remembered, found and got Leon Russell back on his feet, when the entire World had forgotten who Leon Russell was. Compared to other British Royal Knights, he earns it.
I’m crying crocodile rock tears.
But the gerbil up his @$$ is staying
Sir Elton John should have his title changed to princess.
Bye
Well ….. bye!
How pursuing his controvercial gay lifestyle/agenda brought people together?
Whenever I see Elton John, I remember this: “If you own a Rolls Royce sedan, you ride in the back seat. If you own a Rolls Royce convertible, you drive it yourself ..... unless you are the Queen of England, or Elton John, which amounts to the same thing. - Jeremy Clarkson (may not be an exact quote)
Libs can’t stand the truth.
They run away like little girls who’s pigtails are pulled.
OMG!!! Whatever will we do?
Libs can’t stand the truth.
They run away like little girls who’s pigtails are pulled.
Or, in this case, a washed-up old queen with a tarnished crown.
