Elton John apologizes to female steward after profane tirade
Farmer/REX ShutterstockSir Elton John makes a public apology after cursing out a female concert venue worker during his show Sunday night.
Sorry really was the toughest word for Elton John.
The 68-year-ancient composition legend apologized on stage during a concert in the U.K. on Sunday night after a foul-mouthed tirade at a venue employee reduced the woman to tears.
Fired up over security personnel’s cracking down on concertgoers who were waving their arms during the show in Gloucester, John singled out one female employee for a particularly harsh scolding, reported Britain’s Pink News.
“You f–king stewards, who do you think you are? This is my f—king concert, who are you?,” John screamed, according to the account. “Especially you with the f—ing blonde ponytail, you’re a f—ing c–t … Yes you, this isn’t f–king China, now piss off.”
The unnamed woman was seen crying as she walked away.
But after John cooled down, he used his mic to make amends.
“No one should ever talk to a lady like that,” he says in a video of the episode that has since gone viral.
Putting the blame on the higher-ups who mandatory the stewards to enforce the plot, John invited the woman on stage for a hug.
“It’s not good enough to say that,” John said to much applause from the crowd. “Whoever told the stewards to be that strict, that’s their fault and not hers, and I apologize”
