Sir Elton John gets chased around Las Vegas by 60-year-old women.
The flamboyant singer has revealed he has been getting mobbed by older fans since he started doing his regular shows at Caesar's Palace Casino.
The 58-year-old star told Billboard magazine: "Before Caesar's I'd never stayed the night in Vegas. I don't go out much, but you do get stir crazy. So I'll go see what's in the shops now.
"But my operations manager, Bob Hailey, and I got chased through the mall. We were laughing so hard.
"Bob said, 'We're being chased by 60-year-old women!' And, I said, 'Bob, we are 60!'"
Elton signed his lucrative Las Vegas deal - thought to be worth 36millionGBP - two years ago.
He plays at the specially-built Colosseum Theatre when Celine Dion, who has a 70millionGBP three-year deal at Caesar's Palace, has days off.
Meanwhile, Elton recently vowed to keep his big mouth shut after offending a string of fellow celebrities - including Madonna, George Michael and Victoria Beckham - with his candid comments.
He said at the time: "I had a hell of a time last year and this is the end of it."
