Elton John has decided to take matters into his own hands and not abide by a series of rules in a luxury Paris shop.
Apparently, the flamboyant artist wanted to use the toilet in a shoe shop, but it was only for employees, as is usual in these cases.
When he was refused a solution, Elton decided to open a plastic bottle and urinate inside it, without leaving the shop.
This shop is Sugarkikz, a luxury shoe retailer. Despite the musician's behavior, he subsequently bought his two children some trainers and took a photograph of himself inside the shop as if nothing had happened.
Moreover, according to eyewitness accounts, Elton's urine splashed all over the floor of the shop. However, he quickly asked his bodyguard to take charge and clean up the entire pavement.
To make matters worse, at first, the witness to what happened was unable to recognise Elton and, seeing him in all his confidence, could not help but ask him what he did for a living. The musician used only three words to define himself: "I'm Elton John".
Elton John's most famous controversies
Throughout his long career, the artist has had his share of controversies. During part of his career in the 1970s and 1980s, Elton struggled with serious drug and alcohol addiction problems.
He also famously feuded with Madonna, who criticized his singing skills and performances.
In 2010, he was criticized in some religious quarters for referring to Jesus Christ as "a compassionate, super-smart gay man".
In the 1990s, he was involved in a lengthy legal battle with his former manager John Reid and the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. He was also not spared from criticism in 2007, when he canceled a series of concerts in Australia due to an alleged respiratory infection.
