Elton: Mother was a sociopath

Elton John reveals that his Mother never liked David or anybody for that matter and never asked to see his children either. But he says he is glad that they did not meet as she would have criticised them in the same way as she criticised him. "She couldn't help herself," he added. "She's a sociopath," John said that he and his mother had reconciled before she died but that did not change their strained relationship.  He said that the only thing that changed was that he did not lose his temper and knew what was coming and let her get on with it and later said that he loves his mum. His mom said that she loves him too but does not like him.

When John was asked whether he had any regrets John said that when he was trying cocaine in 1974 even after vomiting for the first time he went back for one more and soon he was addicted. He said that it nearly destroyed his soul, it turned black like a charred piece of steak until he needed help and suddenly a little pilot light in his soul came along which said to him that it (Pilot light) is still here.
