Two Russian TV presenters say they pranked Sir Elton John by posing as Vladimir Putin during a phone call about gay rights.
The Rocket Man singer posted a picture of Mr Putin on a verified Instagram account on Tuesday night to thank the president for “reaching out and speaking via telephone”.
Vova and Lexus said it seemed Sir Elton was “waiting for that call, so immediately believed in the reality” of the conversation.
The duo claim the singer responded to the 11-minute call, which will air in full on Russian state-owned Channel One during the Evening Urgant show on Wednesday night, by saying: “Thank You. You made my day. This day, and the conversation, was the most wonderful and beautiful in my life.”
