The music world was stunned when rumours surfaced about a heated feud between two of its biggest icons, Billy Joel and Elton John. The tension reportedly reached its peak during their time in rehab, where their clashing personalities and professional rivalry led to explosive confrontations.
The Origins of the Feud
According to insiders, the animosity between Joel and John began long before their rehab stints. Both pianists and songwriters dominated the charts in the 1970s and 80s, leading to inevitable comparisons and a sense of competition.
Rehab Explosions
Their time in rehab only intensified the friction. Sources claim that Joel resented John's flamboyant persona, while John allegedly mocked Joel's more reserved demeanour. The atmosphere grew so tense that staff had to intervene on multiple occasions.
The Road to Reconciliation
Despite the rocky start, the two legends eventually found common ground. Mutual respect for each other's musical talents helped bridge the gap, and they later collaborated on several projects, including their wildly successful 'Face to Face' tour.
Today, both artists look back on their feud with humour, acknowledging that their competitive spirits ultimately pushed them to greater creative heights.
