Elton John tried to push his piano into audience when he was drunk, claims guitarist appeared on www.telegraph.co.uk by The Telegraph.
“We looked at each other and went ‘every night’. And it really was like that in those days. Those were danger years.
“Those times were crazy, they were dangerous, it was only our stamina that allowed us to weather that whole period.”
Edinburgh-born Johnstone – who has played with Sir Elton since 1971 – said that in the late 80s, the star – who has admitted that his struggles with drugs and alcohol almost killed him – “thankfully” was able to “sort himself out”.
“He had to get away, he had to do his thing,” he said. “I was so happy for him, I was surprised but I was so happy for him. It was just so traumatic.”
The Los Angeles-based guitarist – whose nine-year-old son Oliver died in a tragic pool accident in 2001 – credits Sir Elton with intervening to help his own recovery in the noughties.
He said: “I was given a lot of help in that area by my dear friend Elton. He was the first one who gave me a nudge and we were sitting at his place one day and we were having breakfast, a cup of tea and toast and marmalade.
