Sir Elton John is to guest edit the Independent in early December with a themed edition to raise awareness of World Aids Day.
John, who follows in the footsteps of U2 frontman Bono and designer Giorgio Armani, will also guest edit the Independent's cut price 20p spin-off i on 1 December. All circulation revenue from the publications will go to the Elton John Aids Foundation.
"I'm really looking forward to spending a day in the editor's chair and I'm pleased to get the chance to put the subject of Aids at the top of the editorial agenda," said John. He also intends to "enlist the help of prominent friends from showbusiness and politics".
The one-off edition will be published on World Aids Day with the aim of raising awareness of prejudice against HIV and the need to protect against transmission.
