In a shocking revelation, David Gest’s former bodyguard has revealed that he once hired a hitman to kill singer Elton John. According to Imad Handi David paid $20,000 for the singer to be taken out back in 2003 but was talked out of the idea before the murder took place.
It is said that David’s anger was sparked by Elton claiming that he was gay after his disastrous marriage to Liza Minnelli. Elton also said that he wanted to by Liza a heterosexual husband as a wedding present after when she married Gest back in 2002. Following the accusation, Handi claimed that Gest said ‘I’m going to kill that mother******. He’s a dead man.’
The security guard went on to say that he thinks that there was some truth in what Elton was saying and that it was made David so angry. ‘I think he was so angry because Elton rumbled who he really was.’ He also claimed that David had a significant cocaine problem and would go on binges with Amy Winehouse that would often leave him in hospital.
Speaking about David’s wild life he said ‘He dealt drugs, took drugs on a massive scale, had sex with who he wanted, hid his sexuality, gambled for days on end and was nothing like the person on TV.’
