Daily Caller: Elton John’s team reportedly feared he had been targeted in an assassination attempt when he was left bloodied onstage and then blacked out, according to the singer.
The Rocket Man was taken off from his piano amid fears that shots had been fired in the middle of a concert in Greensboro, North Carolina, according to a report published Thursday by RadarOnline. It was later revealed that a person in the crowd allegedly threw a metal pipe onto the stage that struck the legendary singer in his temple. John recalled that he had blood streaming down his face from the shocking incident and said he blacked out as a result of the injury. more
Threw a pipe at him. Must have been that Benny and The Jets gang.
I guess he wasn’t Still Standing
Don’t Go Breaking My Head
I guess that’s why they call it the bruise…
You can have my hash pipe when you pry it from cold dead hands.
(Teenage me 😉)
If it was on a Saturday night, he has no excuse.
When, exactly, did this happen? Three years ago? Thirty? He quit touring last year
^^^anonymous is me….
I would have thrown some Cowboy’s Brown Dirt at him.
I have a rock solid alibi
“hash pipe”…sounds 80s to me. I remember when w—some guys I heard about—were getting hash from Afghanistan. Word was that the mujahideen were financing the war against the Soviets with it. And apparently, this one guy was making these knockout chocolate candy with it. Anyway, that’s what I heard.
The little faggot has his own jet airplane, the little faggot is a millionaire.

Love lies bleeding?
You know, it’s a little bit funny…
Not the first pipe thrown at him.
You all know that he was a great friend of Rush and his wife.
He called Rush soon after he lost his hearing and they became very good friends,that was more than twenty year’s ago.
Elton John played at Rush’s and Katherine’s wedding.
A news report last week was that Elton is now blind.
If Rush was alive he would have called him in support.
we can’t keep hating everything and everyone, it does no good.
Love your neighbor as your self.
That is a command not a suggestion. I fail at this as we all do.
The left has created an army of crazy people. With the election over, they have nothing to do but attack people – like that pscyhopath Taylor Lorenz. We have to respond with great ruthlessness against these freaks, and the people who created them.
Besides the pipe, I net he’s been hit by balls in the chin a few times.
Daniel my brother, you are older than me
do you still feel the pain
of the pipe to the head?
Your eyes have died
But (according to Geoff) you see more than I…
I know I couldn’t have done it.
I’ve intentionally never bought his records or gone to his concerts for 55 years
The queer queen was fortunate it wasn’t a yellow brick from the road. 😉
But is he still standing?
Could have been worse he could have been assaulted with a crocodile rock
ThirdTwin, apparently your info is out of date.
Elton is currently in his 2024 tour.

Disregard my last comment. Turns out that was an unofficial site that keeps track of potential upcoming concert dates.
All articles reporting the news came out in the last two days and the way they are written makes it sound like this just happened, but best I could find on-line – Elton’s last concert in Greensboro, NC was 19 April 2022 – so two and a half years ago.
Brutally funny comments. No one should be assaulted while trying to make an honest living. Never was a fan and flat out hated the Yellow Brick Road album.
Nat King Cole, whom Thurgood Marshall regarded as a house N-Word, was mugged on stage.
If you don’t like a performer then just don’t go see him.

We are a sick group on this thread. Tee Hee

Stunned and bleeding from a hash pipe? Those things weigh maybe an ounce or two in most cases. I smell bullshit, or, at least an attempt to garner more attention in a sad need for relevance.
@Seaoh
Is he still standing?
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Where’s Chalupa when you really need him?
Thread winner to Loco, clearly … a few more lines
I guess that’s why they
Call it the bruise
Pipe to my head
Could be a pipe meant for you
Hi Lennie!! Give me a minute to come up with something 🙂
“All the young girls love malice – tender old noggins they crave …”
“And you know you throw your shoes like a sandal in the wind …”
“Bang a bong bang a bong get it on …”
“Pitch pitch – the pitch is back …”
He never disappoints ;-D
one pipe he couldn’t smuggle
whining: it’s just his job 5 days a week…
