Elton John allegedly peed in a bottle while shoe-shopping with his kids.
In a shocking interview with TMZ, shop owner Ryan Sukkar revealed that John dropped by his store Sugarkikz in Nice, France, with his two sons, Zachary and Elijah, and a bodyguard on July 8.
The "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" reportedly asked if there was a public restroom, but none was available at the time.
As he needed to go already, he allegedly took a plastic bottle from his security guard and peed in it afterward. John reportedly had several drops of his urine on the floor, prompting him to ask for a towel to clean up the mess.
According to Sukkar, the incident left him shocked and frustrated as he also did not know who John was when he entered the store. The owner later learned that the man was the "Hold Me Closer" hitmaker.
The official Instagram page posted a photo of John and his sons alongside the text, "Thank you, Mr. Elton John."
The outing came a week after John spoke with Entertainment Tonight regarding his plans to tour while managing his family with David Furnish. He previously held his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, which ended in Stockholm, Sweden, in July 2023.
When asked if he would like to tour again, John firmly said, "No."
"We've got our sons, you know, they're getting into their teenage years now," Furnish added. "We don't want to miss anything. We want to be present for that. It's sort of a key decade, I think, in a child's life. He's been doing it for 60 years. So it's nice to have that time to spend at home with family."
John and Furnish met in October 1993. The "Rocket Man" singer popped the question to his partner in May 2005, when the same s-- marriage was still not legal in Britain.
They registered their civil partnership instead and welcomed their kids in the years thereafter before finally getting married on December 21, 2014.
In a confessional series, John reflected on his relationship with his husband and how they survived the challenges by sending a letter or message to one another every week since their 1993 meeting.
"We go through difficulties as much as anybody else does in a relationship, but we sort through it by communication," John added. "And one way of communicating is writing down on a piece of paper or a card how you're feeling."
