Elton John, a close friend of Michael Jackson, asserts that the musician became ill and suffered from a “mental illness” as a result of the star’s fame. ”.
He also said in his recently released memoir that being around Jackson was “disturbing.”. The 72-year-old singer acknowledged being friends with Michael at the start of his career, but as the latter’s notoriety increased, he saw how Michael changed. Elton described Michael Jackson as “the most charming youngster you could imagine” when they first met when he was 13 years old. ”.
But like Elvis Presley, he began to withdraw from reality and the outside world in the years that followed. Every time I saw him as an adult, I thought he had gone insane. God alone is aware of his mental state and the reason for his extreme medication intake.
“We didn’t learn about it until recently.
In addition to being severely mentally ill, he claimed to be a pain in the neck. He was invited to one of Elton’s parties where he got lost and was later discovered playing with the housekeeper’s son. ”.
He “couldn’t stand being around adults for whatever reason,” the artist said. In his book, Elton John made a number of revelations. He acknowledged that he had a challenging upbringing and spoke about his relationship with his late mother Sheila Farebrother.
Sheila and her husband David Furnish have two sons together, Zachary, who is eight, and Elijah, who is six. Sheila has never met her sons. She never really liked David. It was never well-liked. The kids were never denied access to him. But Elton John added, “I’m glad they didn’t know her because they rebuked her in the same way she rebuked me. ”.
