We just found this hilarious!

The new Elton John bio written by David Buckley has a fun (it’s only fun because he did not succeed, we’re not completely insensitive around here) fact about Sir Elton. Apparently, back when he was pretending to be straight (but really who was he fooling) the superstar tried to off himself before his wedding to Linda Woodrow.

Story states that friend Bernie Taupin went looking for Elton to get him ready for the walk down the aisle only to find him with his head in the oven!

David writes, “Elton had stuck his head in the oven, but set the gas on low with all the windows open.  What’s more, he was resting his head on the pillow.”
