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."

Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It’s time we put the flame torch to their keep
Did you see Red Piano?
No. What is it?
There are four sections of seats emanating from the stage. He comes out and gets into a song, the vocals are low in what I expect was to hide the quality of his voice.
After almost every song he gets up and walks to the other side of the stage and takes a bow, to every section of seats. So picture it, he’s taking four bows inbetween every song. And he's milking every section for attention.
At one point you could see he was getting upset that he wasn’t getting enough applause so he physically was waving his arms up and down to increase the volume.
The first thing which made me uneasy was the stage prop vegas casino sign flashing “cocktail” that would flash “cock” then “tail”. It may not seem like much but it was odd and a sign of things to come.
The worst part, which made it unbearable was the homo erotic and just perverse movies played on the entire stage background during the song, whose images where so large it was nearly impossible to avoid looking at it.
Movies of his life which included gay party boys wearing only short shorts passed out on backstage couches with mirrors of cocaine next to them. Images of the alice in wonderland rabbit doing coke with a huge spoon up it’s nose. The worst was a scene where the elton character tried to kill himself in a gas oven to be saved by an angel who lead him into a room where a naked women sat down in an electric chair, and was electrocuted while flames shot out of her vagina.
Meanwhile some young stylish women are standing up waving their hands and bodies to all this. It was one of the most bizarre hours of my life.
I'd like my money back, and a few bucks for damages.
My wife and I saw Keith Urban last Friday night. Comparing your description of Levon’s gig to what we saw of KU, it sounds like we got a much better deal. My wife loves KU. He put on a great show.
Hate to break this to you, fruitcake, but princes outrank knights.
Just saying.
Egads. How horrific. You should have asked for your money back. Was this in Vegas?
I saw Keith when he opened for Kenny Chesney several years ago. And Dirks Bentley opened for Keith.
DNA stain.
What women doesn’t like KU?
Yea, Ceasers Palace.
Blind ones ;-)
The only problem I have with him is all he sings about is love. Just sings about...love.
Get some material man.
Can’t argue with that.
Sometimes Elton John just acts so... well, gay!
Must have been that time of the month for Miss Dwight.
remember when he said if it were up to him he’d ban religion?
Some got on his shoes, too.
