When the legendary singer and songwriter Elton John hits the stage for his adoring fans, he wants each of them to have the best experience. When that wasn’t the case during a show in Australia Sunday, Sir Elton John was quite vocal about it.

When the 72-year-old noticed two bouncers removing a female fan from HBF Park Stadium in Perth, John immediately reacted with swear words and a rant for both of the security guards. The “Tiny Dancer” singer’s tirade was caught on tape by some who tweeted the incident.
In the footage, John can be heard saying, “Hey, you two security guards with the girl, (expletive) off.”
“Let her up here immediately… come on, you (expletive),” he continued, before adding, “Morons, both of you, morons. You don’t treat girls like that. Leave her alone, you turds!”
John, who owns a condo in Buckhead, was performing in Australia as a part of his highly-anticipated Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour. In October, he was forced to postpone a date in Indianapolis due to some health issues. The date was changed to March 26 of next year.
“I absolutely hate to let my fans down, but I owe it to you to put on the best #EltonFarewellTour show possible and unfortunately that’s simply not possible. The date will be rearranged for March 2020, and I promise I will deliver the show you deserve. Thank you so much for your support and understanding,” the superstar said in his post.
John has never been one to shy away from speaking his mind during a show. In February 2018, he stormed off the stage at his Las Vegas concert at Caesar's Palace after a member of the audience wanted to make contact with him while he was playing the piano and signing "Saturday Night."
