Elton John accused of urinating into a plastic bottle at a French shoe store

Legendary British singer-songwriter Elton John has been accused of urinating in a plastic bottle inside the store by a shop owner in France. According to a TMZ report, Elton was shopping in a sneaker store in France when he asked for a public restroom. Unable to find one, he resorted to urinating in a plastic bottle inside the shop and instructed his security to 'clean up the mess.'

‘When Elton was informed there wasn't a toilet around, the shop owner says the singer turned to his security and asked for a bottle. He then took a few steps away from other shoppers and began urinating in the receptacle,’ the report stated.

This incident left the shop owner ‘shocked and frustrated.’ The owner, not recognizing Elton John, asked him what he did for a living. The singer simply replied, ‘I am Elton John.’

After the incident, the singer bought two pairs of shoes for his sons and took photos with the store owners, who later shared a photo in their Instagram stories. The photo showed John and his sons posing with the owners. The caption read, ‘Thank you, Mr. @eltonjohn.’
