Elton vs. Rod
In November 2021, Rod admitted that he and long-time friend Elton John are no longer on speaking terms. Rod said the two music legends became embroiled in a feud back in 2018, and began swapping insults in the press after Rod said Elton’s farewell “stinks of grabbing money.”
Elton hit back in his autobiography, Candle In The Wind, saying he wouldn’t accept advice on “rock and roll from someone who’d spent most of the last decade crooning his way through the Great American Songbook and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.” Yikes!
