14 reasons why Elton John is totally ridiculous
ELTON JOHN CELEBRATES his 66th birthday today and continues to be one of the most entertaining people in showbiz.
Obviously Elton has many, many memorable songs and does plenty of high profile charity work.
But he also enjoys a good celebrity feud and wearing totally off-the-wall outfits.
Here is our salute to some of Elton’s most out there moments.
1. There was the time he dressed like a bumble bee

2. The time he wasn’t taking promoting a new album seriously

3. His gift for dressing up
Elton is famous for lavish parties and events and low key costumes like this.

8. His feud with Madonna
They were friends once, hanging out and showing their cleavage to photographers

But then they started a bitter feud and he frequently slates her in the press.
Then they were was the time she beat him to a Golden Globe and he made this face

And he did an interview from last year where he says Madonna is horrible to Lady Gaga and he doesn’t like her.
We want to say this is totally immature but it’s so entertaining we don’t want them to stop.

9. The time there was a chocolate figure of him made.
In 2005, Elton John won a poll of the nation’s favourite personality so Cadbury made a life size chocolate figure of him.

10. The only time Elton was ever upstaged

Elton performed Don’t Go Breaking My Heart with drag superstar RuPaul at the 1994 Brit Awards.
Towering over Elton in her high heels and even higher wig, it’s possibly the only time anyone has upstaged him.
The full performance is hilarious for how neither have any kind of microphone anywhere near them and just happily mime the song.
