Fireworks exploded at 40,000 feet when ELTON JOHN blew up at his hubby David Furnish on a packed plane.
The two clashed while heading to the Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee in June, and friends say such fights are a “common occurrence,” a source tells The National ENQUIRER.
“Elton’s been doing a string of shows lately, and he and David flew a few friends with them to Bonnaroo,” the insider revealed. “They all know Elton gets pissed when things don’t run completely on his schedule, and one of the cars carrying their friends was late.
“Elton got super annoyed – and even more so when David told him he was basically acting like a brat.”
That’s when all hell broke loose, the source added, with Elton, 67, taking the ultimate stab at David, 51, and threatening to pull the plug on funding for his Elton John AIDS Foundation.
