If you’ve been famous for most of your life and lived as long as Elton John has, you probably have a few stories to tell. It’s not a big surprise that many of the oldest heads in the ever-changing world of famous showbiz have a lot of secrets to share. Another thing that isn’t too crazy is that many of these discoveries do come to light at some point. However, there are different kinds of fame.
More specifically, there are stages in the game that separate people who are afraid to walk down a busy street for fear of being seen by people who are huge stars. It’s safe to say that Elton John fits into the second group. That’s maybe why his autobiography, Me, got so much attention when it came out…The famous singer made a lot of claims in Me. There were also a lot of retold stories and funny, shocking, or sad moments that were brought up again.
But it was what he said about Michael Jackson, the late “King of Pop,” that got people talking online. John talked about meeting Jackson when Jackson was still a little boy. He then talked about how the years had changed the “Thriller” star in many ways, none of them for the better. Elon wrote, “I knew Michael since he was 13 or 14 years old.” “That kid was the cutest thing you can think of. But sometime in the years that followed, he began to shut himself off from the world and reality, just like Elvis Presley did.
Elton then said that he still thought Jackson’s change might have been mostly caused by his long-term use of prescription drugs. He went on, “God knows what was going on in his head and God knows what prescription drugs he was being pumped full of, but every time I saw him in his later years I thought the poor guy had lost his marbles.” “I don’t mean that in a funny way,” the Your Song singer said. He was seriously mentally ill and a scary guy to be around.
Jackson was in the middle of a big media storm when he was accused of sexually abusing children. This is a dark cloud that has never really been taken off his name, even after all these years.John would only say, “For whatever reason, he couldn’t seem to cope with adult company at all. How is John’s health? These days, John, who is 75 years old, has been having a lot of health problems.
Many of the dates on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour had to be moved or rescheduled until 2023 so that he could get better. Reports came out earlier this week saying that Elton had turned down an offer to appear at King Charles’ coronation concert. He is known for singing “Candle in the Wind” at Princess Diana’s funeral, but he won’t be at the event that officially recognizes her ex-husband as the new king of England.
