Elton John reconciles with his mum and shares sweet Mother’s Day message after ending nine-year feud
AFTER famously singing that Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word, it looks like Sir Elton John has mustered up the strength to reconnect with his mother after a nine-year feud.
Elton has shared a touching throwback picture to celebrate his relationship with mum - Shelia Farebrother - on America's Mother's Day.
Taking to Twitter to share a sweet message, Elton wrote: "Dear Mum, Happy Mother's Day! So happy we are back in touch. Love, Elton xo #MothersDay"
The iconic performer, 70, fell out with his 92-year-old mother in 2008 after a disagreement over her maintaining friendships with his former staff members.
Elton then failed to show up to his stepfather's funeral in 2010 and Sheila furthered the feud by hiring an Elton John tribute act for her 90th birthday party.

Their reconciliation came shortly after Elton spent time in intensive care with a bacterial infection in April after falling "violently ill" on a flight to the UK from Chile.
A defiant Elton released a statement with a spokesperson claiming he was "enjoying spending time with David and the kids. He's also using the time to catch up on even more new music. He's also really looking forward to being back onstage at Twickenham."
