    The ‘Rocket Man’ singer suggests his friend-turned-enemy Rod Stewart is a hypocrite for complaining about his tour while the latter is promoting his own road show.

    AceShowbiz – Elton John has reignited his feud with Rod Stewart by slamming his former pal for criticising his retirement plans in a new chapter of his autobiography.
    The pair’s relationship soured when in a TV interview Rod said Elton’s big announcement in January 2018 that he would go on one last mammoth world tour and then retire was “dishonest” and “stinks of selling tickets.”
    In the new paperback version of Elton’s autobiography “Me”, the “Rocket Man” singer details his fallout with Rod and says he won’t take lectures on rock authenticity from someone who has moved into crooning in later life.

    “I certainly didn’t feel like I needed a lecture on the feral spirit of rock and roll from someone who’d spent most of the last decade crooning his way through the Great American Songbook and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” he writes, according to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper.
    “What’s more, I thought he had a f**king cheek, complaining about me promoting a tour while he was sat on a TV show promoting his own tour.”
    Rod, who blamed the offending comments on his drinking before the interview, recently revealed that he and Elton are still at odds over the remarks.
    “We don’t talk to each other anymore. Big falling out,” he said on U.K. radio host Chris Evans’ “How to Wow” podcast. “Last time I emailed him I said, ‘I’ve got this football pitch, would you like the boys to come up?’ You know, cos they both love football,” before revealing he had received no response.

      Rod Stewart Would Love to See Rhys Ifans Play Him in Biopic

      The ‘Maggie May’ singer says the actor who once dated his daughter will be a perfect choice to play him if a movie about his life and career is ever being made.

      AceShowbiz – Rod Stewart wants his daughter Kimberly’s ex, actor Rhys Ifans, to play him in his own biopic.
      The British rocker is keen on seeing his life depicted in celluloid after witnessing the success of movies about fellow ’70s stars Elton John and Freddie Mercury.
      And if a film does make it to the big screen, the “Maggie May” hitmaker, 75 believes Rhys, 52, who had an on-off relationship with Kimberly, 40, more than a decade ago, would be perfect for the role – so long as he has the right haircut.
      “Rhys would be a very good idea. (But) he has got to do something with his barnet (hair),” Rod tells BBC Radio 2.
      The musician also floated the idea of his son Alastair, 14, playing him in younger scenes due to having a “remarkable similarity” in their looks.
      Speaking about his hopes for a biopic, Rod adds, “If it does not happen it does not matter but I would be ­flattered if it did. But I tell you what, the Freddie Mercury one was so good. It was rock and roll. It would be hard to get ­something better than that but I would give it a shot.”
      The rock legend is also desperate to get back on the road when the Covid-19 crisis passes.
      “I miss work. I am itching to get back,” he says. “I keep in contact with the band and they keep saying, ‘See you at the ­soundcheck.’ But we don’t know when that is going to be.”
