Elton John has lived a long life and he spent the most of his years in the public eye, so he definitely has a breathtaking story or even two to tell us!
It’s not a surprise that a lot of old celebrities and famous people can keep a lot of secrets and mysteries. However, from time to time some of this mysteries become available for regular people.
There are a lot of celebrities and their behavior is really different. Some of them have to be careful when they walk down a high street since admirers can recognize them effortlessly and some of them are out-of-this-world superstars who aren’t afraid of being really popular.
Elton John is a star who is from the latter category. He wasn’t afraid to publish his memoir that is called “Me, garnered so much attention…”. This book has plenty of claims that an iconic star made during his outstanding and fruitful career, a lot of interesting stories, and plenty of unexpected, shocking and even disgusting moments.
One of the most controversial and sharp claims were his words about King of Pop, Michael Jackson that caused a lot of questions in an online community and society in general.
The singer told how he had met Michael when he was a young boy and then described how the years changed the star in a negative way.
He wrote he had known Jackson since he was about 13, that time he was just the cutest child you could even imagine. But years passed and he started segregating himself from the social life and literally escaped from reality, like Elvis Presley did.
Elton believes this sad transformation could be related to his long-term use of numerous prescription drugs that he got from doctors.
The star wrote that he couldn’t fathom what was going on in his head and he still can’t suppose what kinds of prescription drugs he was being literally fed, but every time he saw Jackson shortly before his death he was thinking that the poor man had totally lost his mind.
He added that it was really serious and it wasn’t something funny. The famous singer was mentally ill and deranged and it was really sad to be around him that time.
During his career Jackson was in the center of a mass media after those famous accusations of him of sexual abuse against children and teenagers. This dark spout lied on his life and even now some people keep believing he was a pedophile.
As for these accusations, John wrote that Jackson couldn’t cope with the adult world for some reason, that’s why he preferred the company of children but it doesn’t mean he made something bad towards them.
John’s health
It would be right to say a couple of words about John’s health. Lately, the 75-year-old singer has faced some serious health issues, that’s why he had to delay and reschedule many of the events on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, so fans will wait for his recovery.
Earlier there some news was that Elton had refused an offer to participate in King Charles’s coronation concert. The singer performed Candle in the Wind at funeral of Princess Diana, but now he won’t show up at the ceremony to confirm her ex-husband as the new monarch of the country.
