Patti LaBelle reminisces about her early encounters with Elton John, particularly a light-hearted incident from the 1960s when he borrowed her Tupperware. After a successful performance, she hosted the young John and his bandmates for cards and made them food, unknowingly packing it in her cherished containers. This led to a memorable interaction between them years later when John humorously referenced the Tupperware in a performance. Despite the missing Tupperware, LaBelle appreciated a beautiful ring John gave her during their collaboration, symbolizing their enduring friendship and shared musical journey.
When I performed in London in the '60s, Elton John, then still Reginald Dwight, stole my Tupperware after I fed the band; it’s unforgettable!
'I want my durn Tupperware!' That's what I told Elton later, and although he never returned it, he made it up with a beautiful ring.
