After Molly Meldrum’s latest public stunt at Elton John’s Melbourne Show, Samuel Johnson told him to ‘hang up his hat’.
Meldrum was recently seen on stage with Elton John singing and dancing before dropping his trousers and showing his bare bun cheeks to the world.

This isn’t the first time that Meldrum tried to steal the show, after Samuel Johnson says he took away his moment at the 60th annual Logie Awards in 2017.
Samuel Johnson told 4BC’s Afternoons with Sofie Formica, “He needs to hang up his hat. Now.”
“They announced my name, my million dollar moment where I was going to plug the charity, and Molly got up and gave me a hat and (what followed was) interminable dribble for about eight minutes. Nobody understood, and he took away my moment,” he said.
“And recently, he took away the moment of Elton John as well. I’m sick of him doing this, I’m sick of it, hang up your hat, mate.”

Meldrum issued an apology for stealing the spotlight from Johnson and said he didn’t mean to and also issued an apology for dropping his trousers at the Elton John concert.
“I shouldn’t have crashed Elton’s show. As for my performance being more revealing than it should have been … well, at the start of the night, my belt buckle broke and my pants were already falling down. And on stage, one thing led to another,” he told the Herald Sun, dubbing himself “a naughty boy, who needs a new belt”.
However, Johnson appeared on The Morning Show saying he thought his apology was false and he didn’t believe it was a wardrobe malfunction.
“I don’t believe it was a wardrobe malfunction. I believe that if it was a wardrobe malfunction, we would have seen his underwear, not his bum. For years, I have not said anything. I don’t want to say anything. Who are his minders? Is he OK? He should not be allowed out in the night.”
