Elton John isn’t holding back in his thoughts on Janet Jackson's concerts, accusing her of lip syncing during her Unbreakable World Tour.
John is known for accusing Madonna of the same, which resulted in a feud that they have since ended. He was pretty harsh in his assessment of Jackson’s show, essentially calling it fake.
“I say what I feel,” John told Rolling Stone. “I probably went too far with Madonna [publicly calling her out for lip-syncing], and I got very personal and I wrote her—she was very gracious.”
He added, “You know, f--king music magazines writing a review of Janet Jackson saying, ‘This is the greatest show—four and a half stars.’ It’s f--king lip-synced! Hello! That’s not a show! I’d rather go and see a drag queen. F--k off.”
John also compared his husband, David Furnish, to Yoko Ono, during the interview. He said he’s weeded out all of the bad eggs from his life, explaining, "David doesn't mind being Yoko Ono, but he's doing it on my behalf."
He went on to say, “David came into my life, and in the last two years has been very involved in sorting out the dross that we had surrounding me," adding, "We had so many people who were earning vast amounts of money that weren't pulling their weight."
