Elton John couldn’t hold it while shopping for sneakers over in France, and ended up pissing in a plastic bottle in the middle of a store … so says the guy who runs the shop.
Ryan Sukkar, owner of Sugarkikz in Nice, tells TMZ … Elton came into his shop Monday afternoon with his 2 sons and a bodyguard and asked if there was a public restroom.
When Elton was told there wasn’t a toilet around, the shop owner says the singer turned to his security and asked for a bottle … then took a few steps away from other shoppers and began taking a leak in the receptacle.
Sounds like Elton’s got poor aim … we’re told he got some pee on the floor and asked his security for a towel to clean up the mess.
The shop owner says he was “shocked and frustrated” a customer would take a tinkle like that … and this was a first in his 3 years running the business.
Seems Elton really had Ryan’s head spinning … he says he had no idea who EJ was when this was all going down, and when he asked Elton what he did for a living, the singer simply responded, “I’m Elton John.” Classic Elton, really.
Ryan says he did a quick search online, and that’s when he realized this was a huge deal. In the end, we’re told Elton bought 2 pairs of sneakers for his sons, snapped a picture for the store and shook hands with Ryan before leaving.
No word if he used his “pee hand” during the salutation, but there was no mention of the pee-pee incident.
And Ryan clearly wasn’t crying over spilled urine, because he tells us … overall, Elton was very cool.
When you’re Elton John, the world is your toilet!!!
