Sir Elton John has revealed Ed Sheeran bought him a โgiant marble penisโ for his birthday.
The โRocket Manโ legend โ who is closed friends with the โShape of Youโ hitmaker โ turned 74 in March and heโs now opened up on the extravagant and memorable gift his pal gave him.
Appearing on Hit 109.9โs โCarrie and Tommy Showโ, he said: โFor my birthday this year, he gave me a giant marble penis.
โI donโt know if thatโs because Iโve always been a p***k or what. Itโs really big, itโs beautifully made.โ
The iconic musician admitted his husband David Furnish wouldnโt let him put the X-rated statue in their garden because of their sons Zachary, 10, and eight-year-old Elijah.
He laughed: โItโs hidden in an area in the house where they wouldnโt see it!โ
Meanwhile, Elton revealed he has had an impact on Edโs sense of style after giving him some fashion advice and offering him to put him in touch with Donatella Versace.
He added: โThatโs true. I said, โEd โ youโve worn the baggy shirts and the trousers, itโs got you so far but itโs now time to make a change.โ โ
The resulting ensemble was the bright pink suit he wore in the โBad Habits video.
Elton continued: โI said, โListen โ if youโre making the โBad Habitsโ video, youโve got to look greatโ.
โHe loves it, itโs not as if Iโm forcing him to [do] anything he doesnโt want to do.โ
When it comes to raunchy gifts, Ed has history after Courteney Cox previously revealed heโd sent her a โleather gimp maskโ.
Ed โ who is close friends with the 57-year-old actress โ revealed how he thought up an X-rated prank when she told him she could buy anything she wanted from her Alexa device.
He explained: โSo, she walks out the room, and I go, โAlexa, order me a leather gimp maskโ.
โUnbeknownst to me, Courteneyโs assistant opened the post, and she finds this mask and instantly goes, โOh, I donโt think I was meant to see that,โ and leaves it on Courteneyโs bed.โ
The 30-year-old hitmaker revealed the โFriendsโ star found out about his joke, and heโs kept it up by ordering more and hiding them in unusual places.
He added: โAnyway, she found out the story, and now every time I go back there, I order her another gimp mask.
โAnd she has maybe 12, and I hide them in peopleโs bedrooms. So theyโll go in a drawer, and theyโll just find this leather S&M mask.โ
