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."
No problemo. I’ve gotten hooked by the reality show, Little People Big World. I hugely admire the dad in that show and what he has overcome except he does sort of exploit his disability and his family but I get over that a few minutes into the drama of their lives.
This is the same little priss who made fun of the Boy Scouts and mocked religion. Now we find he is a self-absorbed swishy little tyrant
Actually, like most of the glitterati, he dotes with Crow.
What an ass.
It would seem to me that this would be the best time for Sir A-hole to show some grace and a stiff upper lip. When it's been a long day and you can hold it together in spite of that...that's what separates the best from the rest.
I believe RA was referring to Lady Elton.
What a Little Edwards!
Pray for W and Our Troops
This is one of the people who claim to know so much more than me and you about history, politics, culture, public morals and all the other ways the world should be ordered.
(Between you and me, and speaking as a nonprofessional and a nonexpert, it looks as if AJ could use more than a two hundred yard walk on a daily basis.)
Quite a fairy nice outfit, if one has no taste and pikes of money, what a looney toon!
It sucks to be sir Elton. Can you imagine being the lucky fellow to wake up with that every morning??
Reggie honey,I’m feeling randy!
I figured — just checking. I have been called that word before.
Screamed Sir Elton: I’ve got work to do!!! No ifs, ands or butts ‘til I’m done!!!
It looks as though a large bird has unloaded on his arm.
On the bright side, this over-rated, under-talented freak will not be reproducing.
Here I am , listening to Elton John on my ipod. grrrr...Time to change music. LOL!
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
"Ahh no but with that line I have to assume you're John Kerry."
This is part of the problem, but in the the big view and little view and any other view the islame-o-fascists have it comes down to one thing. If your not a mooselimb your an infidel, and infidels deserve to be killed. When there are no infidels, then, and only then, will there be peace. (yeah right. Then they'll just keep killing each other)
His music has been quite bad for decades now. However when he was in his 20s he was a natural. He could compose a hit song in 10 minutes.
