SIR Elton John had a foul-mouthed rant at security guards onstage during a concert Saturday night.

The singer, 69, threatened to scrap the gig if staff at the Leicestershire County Cricket Club did not stop ordering fans to sit down.

He shouted: “Security guards please sit down otherwise I am not going to do the rest of the concert and you’ll get in f****** trouble.

“Now sit down, you p****s!”

He then stared at the bouncers as he got cheers and applause from the audience.

When they eventually accepted his orders, he responded: “Thank you guys, thank you.”

But some in the crowd on Saturday were less impressed.

AloeSoph wrote on Twitter: “Great night @leicsccc last night. V well organised. I hope the security guards are ok! #EltonJohn”.

Sophie—eT95 tweeted: “Elton John was out of order ordering security doing their jobs to sit down and threatening to walk off #diva”.
