Elton John believes Michael Jackson was “mentally ill” and struggled to cope with “adult company” and is expressing these views in a new book.
Full story below…
Elton’s book, named ‘Me’, drops on October 15th and offers readers insight into the icon’s story and its relation to the stories of other public figures.
In the firing line? Michael.
The ‘Candle in the Wind’ musician had this to say about him…
I’d known Michael since he was 13 or 14. Elizabeth Taylor had turned up on the Starship with him in tow. He was just the most adorable kid you could imagine. 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.“God knows what was going on in his head, and God knows what prescription drugs he was being pumped full of, but every time I saw him in his later years I came away thinking the poor guy had totally lost his marbles. I don’t mean that in the light-hearted way. He was genuinely mentally ill, a disturbing person to be around. It was incredibly sad, but he was someone you couldn’t help: he was just gone, off in a world of his own, surrounded by people who only told him what he wanted to hear.
This wouldn’t be the first time Elton has taken aim at a fellow Pop act. He has had renown spats with the likes of Madonna and Tina Turner.

AMEN. These crackers trying to make money off MJ when he cant defend himself. They are demons! Elton need to be talking about his cocaine, crack, heroine, and meth addictions and paying for twinks to bust nuts in his ugly self raw dawg. Old pasty nasty grandma looking sissy
You are racist! The very ones that scream!????
TROLLmine aka Dripeesha the only demon here is you racist trash.
U are trash.
Elton is a p*** phile. WTF was he doing “knowing” MJ at “Michael since he was 13 or 14“ fing years old??????? Then he want to throw his meeting MJ on Elizabth Taylor BUT……….she did not meet MJ until MJ was in is very late 20s pushing 30 so WTF!!!!!!!!
Dont lie on MJ for cash!!!! Tell the truth and the whole fing truth Elton!!!!!! U persued that kid and he rejected ur ugly ass so u carry a torch against him.
1. The dates don’t lie!
2. U make a claim but people are not dumbe. Look at the dates!

4. Elton is lying here!!!!!!! Tell the truth Elton!
TROLLmine aka Dripeesha we all know that Amanda D is your other fake profile you nasty demon

BTW I am not Jasmine. Who are u to police people’s opinions? That is a waste of time. Go read a book
Jasmine is the Queen B like Broccoli you know. It’s always funny yo watch love yourself in public, you are so pathetic.
U are the one who is pathetic. I do not know u troll yet u know me and recognize I am Queen B and thirst for attention from me. Keep staying thirsty for me while I treat u like dust! U are very pathetic indeed.
He’s absolutely correct, Michael was mentally ill. If he had nothing else, he at least had body dysmorphia, which is a mental illness, on top of whatever other mental illnesses he had. We still love him though
Let MJ rest in peace u SOULLESS demon! MJ LIVED! U dont even have a life and u are still living! U are a perfect example of the living dead. Soulless empty hating demon with no life, purpose, or legacy. U TRaSh ?!
I’m sorry that you’re so jealous of me TROLLmine, but I can’t help it that I’m popular. You’re on my site. Remember that.

Look at your username and then realize u are talking about yourself! U are gutter trash TgJ obsessed loser. Dont make me expose u! It is obvious who u are! U always comment on a particular TGJ editor’s posts and troll it obsessively like a crazy person. Always the same target and agenda…put crackers on a pedastool and dawg out black MEN. It is predictable, idiotic, and small-minded and u have the nerve to think i would ever tarnish my legacy by working for a site that suports such small-mindedness? Get lost trash! U are NOt on my level. U are an uncreative lessor!
You botch are stupid wasting time for month and month for a f****** stupid nickname. You clearly have nothing better to do on your life, people are dying, animals need help, and you think you are special and important in this life? God…
Fall back demon! I rebuke u. Stay away from my comments.
And you were his doctor?? Shut up dumb b*tch
This is very believable. I think a lot of people have undiagnosed mental illnesses at varying degrees. Michael’s may have been to a larger degree that prevented from coping at a reasonable level. Very sad.
Everybody with talent got a little crazy in them so what. Oh we aint gonna talk about Elton’s crazy cause he white? FOH. He married a woman and could not even get it up to consumate the marriage. Old madonna queen grandma looking cracker with cocaine addiction!
Elton just made a movie out of it, including his marriage, and has been very open about his use of cocaine.
XYZ He has NOT been “very open about his use of cocaine.” He is a liar! It is not just doing the drug that is the problem but rather WHAT U DID WHILE U WERE ON THE DRUG that is the bigger truth! The way Elton puts it is like he did cocaine and went to bed right after instead of telling the truth about his nasty ass orgies and disgusting cult meetings while high on drugs.
Jasmine, you should clearly stop drinking wine.
Namo I wrote FACTS. Elton needs to tell the truth about himself! He does drugs and parties. What exactly is he doing while high? Getting banged out raw by male prostitutes and worshipping Satan.
Michael Jackson would tell u himself that he had Peter Pan syndrome and missed his childhood so no surprise
Yup and he also the first black billionaire!
I loved MJ but he wasn’t the first Black billionaire that is Aliko Dangote from Nigeria since 1981.
He isn’t even the first African American that spot belongs to Robert Johnson the founder of the BET channel.
And according to Forbes he became a billionaire just after his dead, in 1987 the year he earn most he was worth 350M when he died he was valued on 750M but had a lot of debts.
Tetris that other guy is Nigerian not black and Robert Johnson was a billionaire briefly but the same year his wife took half so that does not count either. MJ was the first black billionaire. MJ was before Oprah too.
Awww Miss Elton, must be upset because Michael didn’t participate in Miss Elton’s drug and orgy parties.lol!
AMEN. MJ aint wit Elton’s b******* cocaine parties where men n** in each other raw dog and worship satan at the cult meetings. MJ was like FOH with those hollyweird demon parties
Another jealous POS working for the elite in Hollywood to try and tarnish THE KING OF POP!!!! How pathetic and boring. Why not say all of this when he was alive?? Yes we all know he wasn’t fully there mentally that’s a given considering his childhood plus being the biggest star the world has ever known. What I don’t like is these creatures coming out of the woodworks once his dead and not here to defend or explain himself.
AMEN
I agree with that. That’s why it was so easy for ppl to try and paint him as a p******** when he wasnt. He never grew up and never got the help he needed.
Sir, please go enjoy some d*** and leave MJ out of your mouth…
LMBO. I love this comment
And? We all know something was wrong with MJ. And I have no doubt that he had indeed mental problems. All of the people here insulting Elton John should shut up, cause you know what? In comparison with us, he knew MJ personally.
And to those saying that Elton is irrelevant. Girl, bye. You all know he is not. Just because he is not in the top 10 with the current lil whatever, doesnt make him irrelevant. He is making some bog bucks with his tour.
Shut it. U and Elton can go party and play with your cocaine and diseased twinks and worship Satan the same day but what u aint gonna do is use MJ’s name as a scapegoat! MJ wanted no parts of that nasty ish! Elton got mental issues! What sane person does drugs and pays twinks to dig them out?
Elton John has the biggest selling song of all time and will always have this record.
Facts. He was mentally ill, he did prefer the company of children, especially little boys because he was a p e d o! He settled out of court with his victims for millions. You don’t do that if you’re innocent. His own sister, Letoya exposed him years ago.
The raid on his home found doctored images of young, naked men with children’s heads on them. He was a sick f u c k.
The only reason he hasn’t been exposed is because he’s the highest earning dead celebrity. There’s still a lot of money to be made from his name. He was a fake humanitarian just like Jimmy Savile.
MJ was not a p***! Elton John is the p*** admittedly chasing after little teenage boys like MJ.
MJ was not a p********. He paid because he had it to pay & his agents just wanted it to go away & not tarnish his name & stop the money. If he was a p********, then why only these 2 jerks that are broke & cannot find the money & happiness they want are the only ones to all of a sudden want to come forward alllll because they are trying to get paid. Even a child can see that.
Elton John is known for making catty and negative comments about his peers (see Madonna). He is clearly painfully insecure, despite all his achievements
We’ll put!
Let MJ rest…
Like it always goes when you’re irrelevant
And want to become relevant just bring up Michael Jackson’s name.
Amen!
To be constantly betrayed, judged, picked apart and criticized to the extent that Michael was by other adults in life and in death, who can blame him for any time he preferred to not be around people his age? He knew not to trust people like Elton and this interview is proof.
Man f*** Elton John b**** ass. Stay talking s*** about somebody when his ass ain’t been relevant since the 70s.
This old queen is just trying sell books.
Elton has been a messy queen for years, and here he is at it again…..knowing that sensation sells so he has something to sell, so say anything to bring attention to it.
Owwwwwwwwww. Jermaine gonna sue Elton he better stop
I agree with Elton John they need to let people know that he does have a mental illness
Elton….. don’t judge others until you’ve looked in the mirror. No one is perfect and if you think people don’t remember when you were bald, ugly
and irrelevant, think again. MJ was the best and loved by many. Your ugly and envious comments about him just remind us of just how ugly you still are today, with or without the hair plugs.
Michael was abused by adults!! That is why he struggled with them. They took advantage if him!! Elton John is no saint, maybe he should stop talking!
Try to leave a comment three times just to say mr. Elton Sir John I used to have high respect for you but no longer do I you have nerve to try to talk to someone that is no longer here especially when this is supposed to be about a documentary which was full of lies full of lies all of us might have a little milk to illness if we were labeled or try to be labeled especially you of all people but we still show love for you how dare you talk about him when he’s not here to defend himself all of you are full of crapp you need to as he said leave him alone and you’re messing with his family let them rest in peace
