A man has been arrested for making death threats against Elton John.

Neil Horsley, a renowned anti-abortionist activist, was arrested on Wednesday after posting a YouTube video of himself outside the musical legend's Atlanta home holding a sign reading 'Elton John Must Die'.

Religious extremist Horseley is now being held in Atlanta's Fulton County jail.

His hate campaign - which also involved internet statement entitled 'Elton John Must Die' - was sparked after the 62-year-old CBE holder suggested in an interview earlier this year with Parade magazine that Jesus Christ was gay.

In the video, he tells the camera: "What Elton John has done is desecrated the image of the Lord Jesus Christ, blasphemed the Lord Jesus Christ."

The 65-year-old now faces charges of criminal defamation and terroristic threats, and according to his son, doesn't have an attorney.
