Famous Friends: Elton John and Keith Richards

What began as a friendship devolved into a musical feud when Richards, the Rolling Stones guitarist, accused John of overstaying a guest appearance on a Stones’ show. He criticized John’s reframing of Candle in the Wind after Princess Diana’s death as “Songs for Dead Blondes,” while John said in 1997 that “Richards is like a monkey with arthritis. The Stones should have thrown him out 15 years ago.” Read The Sister Knot about two resilient women, orphaned in WW2, who defy fate to sustain a lifelong friendship.
