George Michael blames Elton for problems
Apr 21, 2006, 14:03 GMT
George Michael has blasted Elton John for stirring up rumours his life is in free-fall.
The former Wham singer - whose private life has come under intense scrutiny since he was found slumped at the wheel of his car last month - has hit out at his former friend accusing him of whipping up a 'soap opera' atmosphere around his life.
Michael's fury was sparked after Elton let slip in an interview in 2004 that 'George was in a bad place' and that there appeared to be 'deep rooted unhappiness in his life'. The superstar singer - who also crashed his car this week - told British TV chatshow host Michael Parkinson: 'My soap opera life launched from that. Elton said I was really miserable and from that point I've been trying to prove that I'm not.' The 42-year-old also opens his heart about death of his mother and tells Parkinson he was left depressed after former partner Anselmo Feleppa died a few years ago. However, despite his recent mishaps, Michael - who this week announced his first tour in 15 years - also claims that he has never felt better 'since he was younger' and plans to marry long-term partner Kenny Goss.
