A beautiful friendship turned
sour over…how to play a piano??? That’s right. According
to rock and soul legend Tina Turner, all the fuss between she
and former ‘close friend’ Elton John all began over
her interpretation of Elton John’s renowned song, “Proud
Mary”.
The two were reportedly scheduled
to perform the song together on VH1’s program “Diva’s
99” (and follow the performance with an international
tour together) when during rehearsal, Turner felt she needed
to share her interpretation of how the piano should be played
to accompany her vocals. This was obviously a mistake, when
Turner’s actions backfired and offended Elton John to
the point that the two had a verbal freefall on the rehearsal
stage. Elton John reportedly stormed out of the rehearsal after
telling Turner that she doesn’t tell him how to play his
piano. Elton John is said to have apologized for his overreaction
at a later date. Nonetheless, Turner made the decision to cancel
the tour based upon their disagreement and the two have been
rumored to be noticeably distant since the incident occurred.
