Jackson’s legacy has been marred by accusations of sexual abuse against minors, a dark cloud that continues to hang over his name even after his death. Elton John didn’t delve deeply into these allegations in his memoir, but he did note that Jackson seemed unable to cope with adult company, hinting at the troubled life Jackson led.
Aside from his reflections on Jackson, John has also faced his own challenges, particularly regarding his health. At 75, he has had to postpone parts of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour to focus on his recovery. Reports also suggest that John declined an invitation to perform at King Charles’s coronation concert, a decision that surprised many given his close connection to the royal family, particularly his performance at Princess Diana’s funeral.
