Elton John Allegedly Pissing In a Bottle at Shoe Store Inspires Copycats

Elton John supposedly relieving himself in a shoe store has had unintended consequences for those who run the joint … let’s just say they’re seeing a lot of yellow around the building lately.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the story about Elton allegedly leaking in the shoe store from a couple weeks ago has unfortunately inspired copycats … all of whom seem to be taking their cues from EJ — either as a prank on the shop, or just to be pricks.

Among some of the follow-up urine instances we’re told have taken place … one person peed in a bottle inside the store — just like Elton himself allegedly did — while another took a leak on the store’s front steps, which our sources say the owner is sure was a streaming ode to EJ.

Needless to say … we’re told the boss is frustrated with the antics, ’cause not only is it gross and rude — but these clowns are actually hurting the business … and our sources say the owner hopes these pissant stop soon.

As we reported … the story goes, the rock legend couldn’t hold it while shopping for sneakers at Sugarkikz in Nice earlier this month … and ended up pissing in a plastic bottle in the middle of a store … so says the guy who runs the shop, anyway.

The alleged Elton bottle situation was captured on video surveillance, BTW … but we’re told that footage will never see the light of day.

As for any response to the story from EJ … let’s just say he’s holding in any reaction … ’cause we haven’t heard anything.
