Elton John has old-fashioned stag night

Elton John and his partner David Furnish tonight held a joint stag party with their “wedding” just two days away.

“We’re going to tie them to a lamppost, cover them with shaving foam – it’s an old-fashioned stag do,” said TV presenter Paul O’Grady, who compered tonight’s glitzy cabaret.

Other stars who arrived at Too2Much in Soho, London, included rock star Bryan Adams, TV game show contestant Janet Street-Porter, veteran TV star Cilla Black, singer Gary Barlow and rock star Kid Rock.

Elton and Mr Furnish – who tie the knot on Wednesday in what will be one of England’s first civil partnerships – were smuggled into the venue just minutes before the show was to start.
