ELTON John admits he’s in Billy Joel‘s bad books.

The legendary Rocket Man hitmaker admits Joel “hates” him for making comments about his alleged alcohol addiction.

Elton recently suggested that Joel needs rehab for a drinking problem which he has suffered from for many years. Joel later brushed off the remarks and insisted that there are no hard feelings between the entertainers.

But Elton admits the two are not on good terms following the incident.

“He hates me at the moment. He sent me a message and he’s not happy,” he explained.

“I understand that. I’m sorry I had to say it, but I’m saying it because I really want Billy to live a long life and be very happy. That’s all it came from. I understand why he’s mad at me.

“I’m only trying to help. Maybe I should have done it privately, but I’ve been so frustrated over the years.”
