Singer Elton John once demanded a staff member to "do something" about the windy weather.

John, who has sons Zachary, five, and Elijah, three, with partner David Furnish, has been known for diva behaviour and says one of his most unrealistic moments came when he was frustrated by the blustery conditions, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I'd been up for a couple of days at the Inn on the Park, as it was then, on Park Lane in London, and I was still up at 11 o'clock in the morning. I rang the office and spoke to a guy called Robert Keown and I said, 'Robert, it's far too windy here, can you do something about it?'" John said on "The Late Late Show".

"And I can imagine him putting his hand over the receiver going, 'He's finally lost the plot'. It wasn't a tantrum as such but as reality goes, it was pretty far off the chart," he added.
