Elton upset guards made him walk

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Despite terrorist bombs becoming reality in Britain, Elton John apparently had a meltdown at Sunday’s Concert for Diana over a security matter.

As London’s Evening Standard put it days after the event that reached 500 million TV viewers, “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.”

The 60-year-old entertainer opened and closed the marathon concert at Wembley Stadium. But approaching the after-concert party at a nearby arena, site of the stars’ dressing rooms, his limo was stopped by police 50 feet from the VIP backstage entrance. Anticipating the young princes’ arrival, the area had been sealed off.

The part-time Atlantan threw one of his famous tantrums. Here’s the family-friendly version: “Don’t you know who I am?” he screamed at a policeman. “I’ve been working all day and I need to get to my dressing room.”

Police remained unimpressed. In his striped pants and extravagant tails, with a lily-motif on the sleeve, Sir Elton had to trudge by foot, like a commoner. According to the Evening Standard’s report, he eventually leapt from the car and pushed through the paparazzi, shouting, “Get out of my way!”

2. Elton's always been that way

He can be quite charming, and he can be a real prick. Ooops, I'm describing myself as well. :blush:

3. Sounds like Sir Elton's channeling fashion tips

From the late Oscar Wilde:

In his striped pants and extravagant tails, with a lily-motif on the sleeve, Sir Elton had to trudge by foot, like a commoner.

This sounds like a "I wish I'd been there" moment.

5. I take it back

Oscar Wilde would never have been caught dead in an outfit that hideous. He may have been a flashy dresser, but at least old Oscar had some panache.

Those glasses! Those shoes! Dear Gawd, where did he find those? Must have been a garage sale hosted by the color-blind.
