Today, for fans of 70-year-old British artist Elton John in the press appeared sad news. Elton notified the public that his 92-year-old mother Sheila Dwight died on the morning of December 4th. Despite the fact that there were very difficult relationships between John and his mother, Elton wrote many touching words about Sheila.
John and Sheila did not talk for many years
On the day Sheila Dwight died, her famous son on his Instagram page posted a picture of him posing with the deceased. Under the photograph, Elton wrote these words:
"I'm very sad to talk about this, but my mom died this morning. I still can not believe it and am in a state of shock. I saw her last Monday and did not foreshadow this loss. I will always remember you and thank you for everything you have done for me. "
Despite the rather touching post of Elton John, not all fans know that the famous actor did not speak to his mother for 8 years. In one of her recent interviews, Sheila Dwight describes the situation that has developed between her and her son:
"It pains me to talk about this, but Elton does not want to talk to me. Frankly, I do not support his passion for men, but this is his life, and I have no right to interfere with her. However, to make others think that homosexuality is normal, I do not want and I will not. It was on this basis that my son and I broke a scandal, which was absurd and completely unexpected. I got a call from Elton and asked me to stop my relationship with my friends Bob Halley and John Reed, because they denounced his wedding with David Fenisch. However, I began to refuse, which led to the fury of Elton. He told me that my friends are much more dear to me than my son. To hear this from Elton, I was very hurt, because all my life I dedicated to him. In response, I could not stand it and said that he cares about his lover much more than about me. Elton furiously broke the phone, and after that he called me and said that he hates me. Since then, we have not spoken for about 8 years, but after my 90th birthday, we renewed our relationship. "

John explained why he is talking to his mother again
In 2016, the press published an interview with Elton John, in which the legendary artist explained why he again began to communicate with his mother. Here are the words you could find in the press:
"I again began to talk with Sheila only because she should have the right to her personal life, however, like me. That's why I revised my point of view and omitted the fact that her friends displeased me. In the process of our communication, we did not touch upon the topic of personal life and friends. Simply, it's easier for everyone: me and her. "
