Elton John may be a music legend, but that didn’t stop fans from criticizing his kitchen. After a holiday video showed what some viewers called a dirty oven, the 78-year-old singer fired back on Instagram in true Elton fashion.
Addressing the comments, John insisted he’s “not a dirty person” and promised to prove it. In a playful follow-up video, he donned hot pink, fur-trimmed gloves and dramatically scrubbed the oven door while “Step Into Christmas” blared in the background.
Mock-singing and laughing through the cleanup, he declared he now had “the cleanest oven window in Windsor,” making it clear the criticism hadn’t gone unnoticed.
The original video, which showed drawers and appliances triggering his holiday hit song, delighted many fans—though others couldn’t resist pointing out the oven. Most, however, praised John’s humorous and relatable response.
In the end, the superstar turned a bit of online nitpicking into another unforgettable performance—this time with oven cleaner instead of a piano.
