A pair of pranksters have punked Sir Elton John pretending to be Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Russian media confirmed on Wedesday that two comedians placed a prank call to the British singer.
Vladimir Krasnov and Alexksei Stolyarov are known in their native Russia for targetting celebrities and politicians with their comedic stunts.
They chose to make the call a day after Elton John told journalists he would meet with Putin to discuss gay rights.
