Sir Elton John claims he and John Lennon did "mountains of coke" together in a New York City hotel and refused to let Andy Warhol in because he had a camera with him.
Sir Elton John claims he and John Lennon did "mountains of coke" together.
The 77-year-old star revealed he and the late Beatles star holed up in a New York City hotel room for a late-night drug binge where they had "mountains of coke coming out of our noses” at 2 am.
The "paranoid" pair heard a knock at the door and thought "Is that the police?"
However, it was only their pal Andy Warhol, who they refused to allow inside, because he brought his camera everywhere and they didn't want evidence of their drug taking.
Speaking in his new documentary 'Elton John: Never Too Late', he explained: "It took me about five minutes to walk across to the peephole, and I saw it was Andy Warhol. And I went to John, ‘Andy,’ and John went, ‘No way!’ So he kept ringing the bell.
"Like no thanks. That was the fun part of cocaine."
Elton also claimed he was responsible for John getting back together with Yoko Ono after the star's surprise appearance at Elton's Thanksgiving Day 1974 concert at Madison Square Garden.
He said: "If I hadn't told him to do the show, maybe he had never met Yoko again.
“Of course, they did get back together and they had Sean [Lennon]. He became in love again, and so his wildness, he kind of stopped the drugs, stopped the craziness. I was happy for him.
"Didn't stop my craziness."
Lennon and Ono first met in London in 1966 and married in Gibraltar in 1969. They separated for 18 months and reunited in 1974.
