News of Sir Elton John’s recent bizarre act at a shoe store is making headlines. According to reports, the Elton John shoe store incident occurred Monday afternoon in Nice, France. During a chat with TMZ, Ryan Sukkar, the store owner, claimed the singer relieved himself in a plastic bottle while shopping. Sukkar said the drama began when John walked in with his two sons and a bodyguard, asking for a public restroom. Unfortunately, none was available, prompting the 77-year-old to take matters into his own hands.
John allegedly turned to his bodyguard and asked for a plastic bottle. Then, he took a few steps away from other shoppers and proceeded to take a piss in the receptacle. Sukkar further claimed that after the pianist finished his business, he got some pee on the floor and instructed his security to get a towel and clean up the mess. As expected, Elton John’s bizarre act frustrated and shocked the shop owner. Sukkar, who was initially unaware of his famous customer, asked about his occupation. The Grammy Award winner responded, “I am Elton John.”
Thankfully, the Elton John shoe store incident didn’t escalate. Sukkar said he did a quick Google search to find out about John and discovered his customer was famous. As such, he let the awkward situation slide, and John continued his shopping trip. He reportedly bought two pairs of sneakers for his sons Zachary and Elijah. John also posed for pictures and shook hands with the store owner, who shared a photo on their Instagram story. The picture showed the icon posing with his sons and their shopping bags. “Thank you Mr @eltonjohn ❤,” the caption read.
Overall, the incident ended positively, demonstrating John’s professionalism amid unexpected circumstances. Sukkar also said that besides Elton John’s bizarre act, the singer was very cool.
