Sir Elton rages as princes' security guard makes him walk to post-gig party
As a member of rock 'n' roll royalty, Sir Elton John does not take kindly to being outranked.
Not even by Princes William and Harry.
So when his chauffeur-driven people carrier was stopped because of royal security around the Concert for Diana, the veteran singer flew into one of the rages for which he is renowned.
"Get out of my ****ing way," he screamed at a policeman. "Don't you know who I am? I've been working all ****ing day and I need to get to my ****ing dressing room."
The singer was forced to walk to the party - and he wasn't happy about it Other performers including Lord Lloyd-Webber and members of Take That were happy to get out of their cars and walk the short distance to the party. But not Sir Elton.
Our man among the crowd of 100 who were watching said: "The princes were due at any time and the police were getting pretty jittery.
"Elton pulled up in the back of a people carrier. A policeman stepped into the middle of the road to stop the car and he said to the driver, "Sorry you can't come in here at this point.
"You'll have to drive round the back or park up and wait five minutes". The driver then said, "I have an important artist in the back who needs to get to his dressing room".
"The policeman said, 'I don't care who's in the car, you cannot drive down this road right now".
"At that point, Elton wound down the window and screamed at him.
"The policeman calmly said to him, 'Sorry but you are not going in this road. You have to get out and walk from here or take a drive around the block. We're waiting for the princes, who are coming through here any minute'.
"Elton started ranting and swearing again. He just lost it and instructed his driver to drive around the policeman.
"The driver started to move and at that point, the policeman stood in front of the car gesturing to put his hands on the bonnet. The policeman was saying to the driver, 'Stop there or you'll be arrested'.
"Sir Elton wound his window back up as he realised photographers were starting to congregate.
"His security guard started reasoning with the policeman, saying they needed to get him in there right away but the policeman would not budge.
"Then at that point, Elton jumps out of the back of the car, stomps round to the front and barges through to get into the backstage compound.
He stomped down the road shouting at people to 'get out of my way'."
Sir Elton, who had opened and closed the concert seen by an international TV audience of 500million, left in a limousine before the party started, although his partner David Furnish was later spotted there chatting to Prince William.
A source close to Sir Elton said: "It had been the end of a very long day. He had been meeting and greeting people for hours before he even opened the show at 2pm.
"And his was the last performance at 10pm. Sound difficulties meant his finale was delayed and Crocodile Rock had to be cut off the end, which he wasn't happy about."
He walks like a duck with a twinkie up his butt.
Or maybe its, he walks like a “twinkie” with a duck up his butt.
Perhaps EJ may want to contact Paris Hilton for some counseling sessions regarding anger management and hissy fits!
What is it with Elton and dead blondes?
Reggie honey,I’m feeling randy!
Actually, Reggie was his lyricist. His 'wife' is a guy by the name of Mark Furnish or somesuch.
Speaking of which, he has realized that he is at risk of contracting botulism.
You see, you can get botulism from ... er... old meat in a can.
Elton has to be the world's biggest....
And it looks like Big Bird left a dropping on his outfit.
heh heh. thats a good one!
how about the lady with tiny hands and feet that is suing mcdonalds for 4 million cuz one of its not so bright employees was kinda ignorant to her/ talk about exploiting a situation.
"Don't you know who I am?"
One of the munchkins from the "Wizard of Oz"?
oh my god, that is the biggest pussy i have ever seen! i would have to run away if i saw that thing coming towards me. holy sh*t!
Oh, you're right!
I was thinking of his wife - David Furnish. His lyricist was Bernie Taupin I think... or something like that. It's been a long time...
If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably is ... a gerbil!
Typical
Lefty
Bigtime.
Who threw up on his sleeve?
Or did a seagull happen to fly over?
No, he can't reproduce, but he probably believes he has a right to adopt your child and raise him as his own.
And the miracle is this, God loves Elton John anyhow.
Praying for his soul.
