Elton's latest art-buying spree took place at a west London studio, according to the August 8, 2004 Times.
He purchased five neon-hued pieces, giving one to the Beckhams.
The artists are husband and wife, Rob and Nick Carter. Although they have already attracted clients like Darren Star, Simon Fuller and Philip Treacy, Rob admits that it felt ''surreal,'' talking to the Rocket Man on his mobile.
