about EU travel for UK musicians, but said visa-free touring is not currently "on the cards".
Last month, the star signed a letter demanding action to cut red
tape and fees for musicians after Brexit.
The matter was "swept under the carpet" before the UK
left the EU, he said.
He said it was now his "duty" to try to help improve the
post-Brexit conditions for younger stars and crews.
Up-and-coming acts hoping to tour the continent when it is safe to
do so will be "up against a brick wall" of fresh
"bureaucracy", "paperwork" and added "finances",
he said.
"It's much more difficult for young artists to get this
together because of all the red tape," Sir Elton told BBC arts editor Will
Gompertz. "Every country has these different rules, there's so much
procedure to go through.
"People like myself are not really affected by it, we have a
foundation of people who can look after it, it still has to be done but it's
much easier," the 73-year-old continued.
"[But] we find ourselves in the situation because of Brexit,
this has arisen. How do we fix this? How can we fix this?
"I want the situation to be resolved, so that young people
don't have the difficulties of trying to tour in Europe, because it will affect
their careers, it will stunt their growth and their creativity."
