Elton John helped Michael out a great deal in 1993, but what gets me his how much Elton John has turned against Michael since the mid 1990's. He seems really bitter whenever he talks about Michael.
Really?
I always thought he was ok towards MJ
Is there any videos on youtube etc with Elton talking like that?
I can't find any of the Elton John interviews where he talks about Michael. But on a defunct BBC show called Liquid News, he spoke about Michael two time in 2002, very bitterly just saying he used to know Michael and feels very sorry for him. Then he appeared on the SO Graham Norton Show, and Graham Norton asked the other guest Kim Wild what it was like to tour as Michael's opening act on the Bad Tour in 1988. She said something like she only met Michael once on the tour, and that he was quite shy or reserved. Elton John interjected, and said if you toured with me we would have been partying. Then Elton John said he felt very sorry for Michael, then joked "well wouldn't you look sad if you looked like that" !!!
Elton John also made a negative comment about Michael in 1996 when he married Debbie Rowe. He said something like "A lot of nutty people get married in Australia".
I don't know if Michael and Elton John had a huge falling out, or if he was pi*sed off that Michael didn't thank him for his help earlier. But Elton John may have turned against Michael because of his out of cort settlement in the civil law suit with the Chandler's. Because Elton John did say in the mid 1990's that if he was accused of child abuse by someone she would have fought to clear him name in court. But in defence of Michael he not only had a civil law suite to deal with, but also a criminal investigation against him. And his defence stragergy in any civil trial could be used against Michael if their was a criminal trial. So their was a huge catch for Michael on that.
Maybe since Michael was vindicated in his 2005 trial, Elton John may have changed his view about Michael (what ever his view is). But I haven't heard Elton John talk about Michael since 2002. Another thing is Elton John has fallen out with other stars who were friends like George Michael and Robbie Williams who Elton John also helped with their drug addictions.
Another knowledgeable, eloquent and descriptive post from the great benscarr :clapping:
The SO and V Graham Norton shows were an excellent series. Almost like a British version of David Letterman or Jay Leno (can't stand that big chinned ****!)
its been well documented why he was there. he stayed at his house when he was in the UK having treatment for drug addiction in 93.Yeah that was just a thank you for his help around a certain time in his life which I probably can't say what for because personal reasons. But that's what it was about![]()
maybe thats why he dedicated BOTDF to elton maybe there was some sort of meaning behind it lol or mj doesnt have clue about half the crap ppl talk about himso Elton was mad at Mike already in 1996?? but in 1997 MJ send his love to Elton ion the booklet?? - Doesn't make sense!
But somehow I also doubt he even knew the Dixie Chick had said those things about him anyway.
