Elton John clashes with paparazzi

Elton John has told the paparazzi in Taiwan in no uncertain terms what he thinks of them. The media ambushed John as he arrived in Taipei shortly after midnight.

He had expected police to keep them away. John screamed profanities at them and said things like, 'Rude vile pigs. Do you know what that means? Rude vile pigs. That's what all of you are.'

One of the photographers shouted, 'Why don't you get out of Taiwan?' John responded, 'We'd love to get out of Taiwan if it's full of people like you. Pig! Pig!' And it's not like John issued an apology the next day.

He told fans at his concert the photographers at the airport were the rudest people he'd ever met during his travels around the world. He said he meant every word he said to them.document.write(unescape('\04564%6F%63um\145%6Et.%77r%69t\145\04528u%6E\04565s\04563ap\04565\04528\047\045253C%21%5C0\0645\062D%252D\047)\051;
