Mike Patton - about Elton John (1997)

Interview for "Муз-ТВ" Russia

[@drowningin]

If people know Elton johns past this is 100 percent believable. The guy was on every drug known to man and animal for decades

[@azaeli4748]

My mate, did the backstage set up at his concert, and the shit he told me was fkn disgusting after Elton's shows

[@jakobbrady3806]

Yea but this was 1997 not 1977, If it was ‘77 that’d be bit more believable but who knows maybe his candle was still in the wind in ‘97
