This tale from Elton John’s memoir has gone viral again and it’s just incredible

This tale from Elton John’s memoir has just gone viral again after his triumphant closing set at Glastonbury on Sunday.

And it’s everything you’d hope and expect from an anecdote from the great man. Multiplied by about 10.

And here it is again just in case that’s tricky to read in full.

‘An actual tram.’

And it prompted lots of love and hilarity on Twitter.

Extraordinary scenes.

I was today years old when I found out Elton John randomly bought a Melbourne tram one night from England while in the throes of a cocaine-fuelled fever-dream spending-spree. Wild. https://t.co/JvrZ5cRqgE
