Veteran singer Elton John recently found himself in an unusual situation while shopping in a sneaker store in France. According to a report, Elton entered the store looking for a public restroom but couldn’t find one. In a surprising turn of events, the singer opted to relieve himself in a plastic bottle inside the store. The shop owner, who hadn’t recognized the star, was left “shocked and frustrated” by the incident.
Elton allegedly asked his security for a bottle after being informed that there were no public restrooms available. He then stepped away from other shoppers and proceeded to urinate in the bottle. Once finished, he instructed his security team to clean up the mess. The shop owner, still unaware of who Elton was, asked him about his profession, to which Elton responded, “I am Elton John.” The incident has left a lasting impression on the shop owner, who shared the story publicly.
