Elton John throws a temper fit onstage in Vegas
Known for having a ferocious temper, apparently Elton John throws a temper fit onstage in Vegas.
Elton John was booed during his Friday show at Caesars Palace after repeatedly losing his temper and throwing a stool and water glass across the stage. He allegedly said “somebody in my production team is (bleeping) fired,” a backstage spy told the Las Vegas Review Journal.
Elton John started his show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace 20 minutes late and was apparently so upset, he ended his show 25 minutes early. Stagehands were seen mopping up water after each of John’s outbursts. Booing erupted after the fourth time he threw his water glass.
We haven’t heard what started his apparent tirade.
Many of his fans wrote in supporting Elton John and really seemed to take the shorter than usual show in complete stride and just attributed it to his diva-like behavior. They pretty well laughed it off and said Elton is Elton.
We heard from other fans who were royally pissed off. Some who said that they either planned their vacations or other special occasions specifically around the show and were very pissed off and disheartened about the whole scene that unfolded. Some said they would return though for another show and a few others said never, ever again would they return.
We even heard from a few people that attended the show and didn’t notice any type of problem at all. So some noticed, some didn’t and some that noticed were Ok with it.
Elton John has a reputation for having a very foul mouth and a terrible temper. A private bartender that worked for the show once told me that although the pay was great, it was a challenge listening to a non-stop barrage of x-rated words.
