Sir Elton John became the latest passenger in the seat, joining The Late Late Show's James Corden for Carpool Karaoke.

Cruising around the streets of Los Angeles, the celebrity duo kicked back as they belted out the tunes to some of Elton’s classics including, Your Song, I'm Still Standing and Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me.

During his appearance on the Sunday's segment, the British musical legend slipped into a variety of flamboyant outfits as he discussed his reputation for having a bad temper.

When host James asked if him, given his track record, if he finds it difficult when his children throw tantrums, he replied, 'I love it.'

The hitmaker also revealed his own most memorable outburst was not one of his extreme displays of temper, but came after he had been up for 'a couple of days' and he demanded the manager of a London hotel change the elements to suit his whim.

'I rang the office, I spoke to a guy called Robert Key and I said Robert it's far too windy here can you do something about it,’ he started to explain. 'I can imagine him putting his hand over the receiver and going "he's finally lost the plot."

'It wasn't a tantrum as such, but as far as reality goes it was pretty far off the chart.'

But the 68-year-old explained how fatherhood to his boys, aged five and three, has made a much happier man, adding: 'They've been amazing. I haven't had one second in Zachary or Elijah's life where I've felt that they've been getting on my nerves.

'I cant believe I'm sitting in the car telling you this, because 10 years ago if you told me I'd be telling you this I would've said your crazy but it's changed my life.

'I thought I was too old to be a dad and no I'm not to old to be a dad. You're not too old to do anything. They've changed our lives completely.'

Elton also confessed that he does not even have his own smartphone, by saying: 'I don't have a phone... there's someone around me, usually a security person with a phone. I do have an iPad.'

And because of this he has to buy four physical copies of any album he likes so there is one at each of his homes around the globe.

The self-confessed lover of excess said: 'I've never been able to buy one of anything. I usually buy four copies (of records). One for the house here, one for the house in France, one for the house in England, one for the place in Atlanta.'
