How Tina Turner And Elton John's Explosive Feud Went Over The Edge

Elton John is notorious for fighting with his fellow musicians. Still, it was his feud with Tina Turner that really turned explosive. John, whose birth name is Reginald Kenneth Dwight, wrote about their epic altercation in “Me Elton John.” He shared some of the juiciest bits in a piece he wrote for the Daily Mail.

John claimed that during the planning stage of their ill-fated 1997 joint tour, Turner called him while he was at home “with the express intention of telling me how awful I was and how I had to change before we could work together.” He said that she told him his piano was the wrong color and that his love of dressing in his beloved Versace did him no favors. In fact, it made him “look fat,” and she allegedly ordered him to dress in Armani instead. Elton wrote that he “burst into tears” following the call, telling his husband, David Furnish, that Turner had sounded like his mom.

He claimed things deteriorated from there on. Elton alleged that Turner acted like a diva during rehearsals, screaming at the musicians and refusing to address them by name. “Maybe it was insecurity on her part,” he sniffed. John claimed they later made up and that he invited Turner to dinner at his home, where she “left a big lipstick kiss in the visitors’ book.”
