Elton John
Elton John opened up to Rolling Stone magazine this month, first explaining that Eminem bought him and David Furnish a sex aid, and then divulging details of Billy Joel's stint in rehab.
Speaking of Eminems cheeky gift, Elton said; "When David and I had our civil partnership, he sent us a present. In a case, on velvet cushions, were two diamond c**k rings."
He then accused Billy Joel, his on/off touring partner in recent years, of "coasting" through rehab treatments, admitting he's upset by his apparent reluctance to get tough with his alcohol issues.
Elton says, "I always say, 'Billy, can't you write another song?' It's either fear or laziness. It upsets me. Billy's a conundrum. We've had so many cancelled tours because of illnesses and various other things, alcoholism.
"He's going to hate me for this, but every time he goes to rehab they've been light. When I went to rehab, I had to clean the floors. He goes to rehab where they have TVs... I love you, Billy, and this is tough love. Billy, you have your demons and you're not going to get rid of them at rehab light. You've got to be serious."
Luckily, Joel insists he doesn't hate Elton. A statement reads, "I've worked with Elton for such a long time and I've enjoyed our relationship too much to let something as random as these comments change my affection for him. Elton is just being Elton."
