What is it with celebs flashing their backsides at the moment? It was only yesterday that Katy Perry gave us all a cheeky glimpse of her behind and now Elton John is at it.

But while Katy's involuntary flash was down to a bikini malfunction, the same couldn't be said for Elt who very deliberately dropped his shorts to give someone the full moon aboard a yacht in St Tropez.

And that someone (according to a few bumeyewitnesses) was none other than Elton's mate, actor Michael Caine, who was on another yacht.

The singer - who was partying with his partner David Furnish and a group of friends - didn't seem to care who got the bum's rush as he flashed his ample derriere.

With his latest antics, it looks like Sir Elton has been taken a few pointers from his old enemy Madonna.

Only last week he called her a 'fairground stripper' and said her career was over during an interview on Australian TV.

“Why is she such a nightmare? Sorry, her career is over. Her tour has been a disaster and it couldn't happen to a bigger c***,” he said. "She looks like a f****** fairground stripper."

Say what you see Elt, say what you see.
