Elton John Mauled by Chihuahua He Mistook for Toupee
– By Claudia Stavola – Elton John had to be airlifted to the King Edward VII Hospital in Windsor after a dog tore his scalp to shreds.
The incident occurred around nine Sunday morning when John was waking from his slumber. He didn’t have on his outrageously enormous glasses when he reached for what he thought was his toupee on the nightstand. Suddenly, John heard barking and felt a searing pain on his scalp.
Chihuahua Head
When he arrived in the trauma unit, his head looked like a bowl of roast beef curtains. It turns out that John’s eight-year-old son, Elijah, with husband David Furnish, had snuck a long haired chihuahua into the home the night before. The puppy was a stray that the boy was playing with and wanted to keep as a pet. The pooch snuck into the master bedroom, and Sir Elton had no idea he was attempting to glue a crazy canine to his head.
Furnish immediately sprang into action by locking himself in the bathroom and hiding in the shower as his husband screamed bloody murder while running around the room like a Benny Hill skit.
John was rescued by his hairdresser who found him naked and unconscious. “I came in for his regular fluffing appointment but there he was, bits and pieces for all to see, laying bald and unconscious. He would die if he were seen without his piece, so I ripped his merkin off and placed it over his wounds until help arrived.”
The beloved singer is expected to make a full recovery.
