I almost had a chance to meet him. It was 1993 and he was on the tour for the album "The One",I couldn't afford a ticket but I worked just down the road from Desert Sky Pavillion (now called *ugh* Cricket Pavillion).
Still in the kind of young,"No one will notice me",state of mind,after work,in the afternoon,I went down to the Pavillion. I walked around and discovered a way in up and around the seats!
(Mind you,a young person does not "reason" when doing these things :D LOL! )
I sat in the audience watching the roadies & someone doing a sound check for at least 45 mins.
I thought,"Cool,Elton will be here soon and I can say hi"!
Well,I got a bit too cocky and moved up some rows and then...someone saw me. "Excuse me,are you someone affiliated with the concert"?
Not good at spur of the moment acting,I just said this like it was a completely normal thing to do...."I'm just here to meet Elton since I can't attend tonight". :D LOL!
"Okay,guy,I'm sorry but you're going to have to leave now." Giving me the unspoken hint,either leave on your own or we'll have someone help you.
It may have been Saturday Night,but,I really didn't feel alright for fighting. :D
