Elton John

I know. He just considered... There was an expression in him called wide boy, which meant crook. He said, if I became a... Elton is... My mother read the letter to me. It's in a thing called Tantrums. Elton would become a wide boy if he carried... Rock and roll is just... There's no future. He wanted... A solid future for me in a bank or in the Air Force or doing a proper job.

You know, it was all down. You grew up in the 50s. You knew what it was like. When Elvis came, it was a revolution. It was a social revolution. And people were horrified. And people in England were horrified who had, you know, conservative opinions of what was good and what was bad. If I became a rock and roller, my life would fall apart. To a certain extent, he was right.

No, not really. He never came to my shows. He never wrote a letter saying, well done.

No, no, no. He had four other sons that he had with his – married to Edna. He was a tactile father to them and loving. He just – you know, I've done so much therapy and rehab. And I just look back on it and saying this was an unfortunate meeting of two people who should never have met each other.

I think he was a musical snob, yeah.

And, you know, I grew up – I'm so grateful for – I mean, I always had music in the house, Terry. I grew up with, you know, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, George Shearing. This is great music. All great music. I mean, all from America, obviously, but great music. When I was like nine years old, I think I got Songs for Swinging Lovers as my Christmas present by Frank Sinatra.

And I loved George Shearing. He was a jazz player, pianist, who was blind, who came from Pinner, where I came from. And when I first became successful in the early 70s, I went to New York and I phoned him. And I said, thank you. I grew up with your music. And it was fantastic. And I was only six or seven years old when I heard your music. But I loved it.
