After living a long life in the public eye, Elton John undoubtedly has countless stories to tell. It’s not surprising that many celebrities, especially those who have been in the entertainment industry for decades, have a wealth of secrets to keep. Some of these secrets eventually become public knowledge.
However, there are different levels of fame, and Elton John undoubtedly belongs to the upper echelon of celebrity status. He is a true superstar, recognized by people all around the world.
That’s why the release of his memoir, “Me”, generated a lot of buzz.
Elton John’s memoir, “Me,” contains numerous claims and stories that range from hilarious to shocking to upsetting. However, it was his words about Michael Jackson that have garnered attention online.
According to John, he first met Jackson when the latter was just a young boy, and he describes him as “the most adorable kid you could imagine.” But over the years, John noticed a significant change in the pop star.
“I’d known Michael since he was 13 or 14,” John wrote. “But at some point in the intervening years, he started sequestering himself away from the world and away from reality, the way Elvis Presley did.”
Elton John suggested that Michael Jackson’s transformation could be attributed to his prolonged use of prescription drugs. This comparison to Elvis Presley highlights the effects of fame and how it can negatively affect a person’s mental health. John’s revelation has sparked discussions online about the importance of mental health and the pressure that comes with fame.
“God knows what was going on in his head,” John continued. “But every time I saw him in his later years, I came away thinking that the poor guy had totally lost his marbles.”

John emphasized that Jackson was genuinely mentally ill and a disturbing person to be around.
When asked about the accusations of sexual abuse against minors that were leveled against Jackson, John simply said that “he couldn’t seem to cope with adult company at all.”
The legacy of the accusations against Jackson still surrounds his name, even after his death. This underscores the impact that these types of allegations can have on a person’s reputation and legacy.

John’s health
Elton John, who is now 75 years old, has been struggling with health issues lately. He had to postpone and reschedule many of the dates on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour until 2023 to focus on his recovery.
Recently, reports have surfaced that John declined an offer to perform at King Charles’s coronation concert. While he famously performed at Princess Diana’s funeral, he won’t be participating in the ceremony to officially confirm her ex-husband’s position as the new monarch of England.
