Elton John didn’t sugarcoat it. In his brutally honest memoir Me, the music legend described Michael Jackson as “a disturbing person to be around” and explained exactly why he felt that way.

The comment came from a story buried deep in John’s 400-page autobiography, where he opened up about addiction, fame, and friendships that turned strange over time. One of the more startling moments involved a bizarre lunch at John’s home, where Jackson, invited as a last-minute guest, left an impression no one forgot (Via USA Today).

John wrote, “God knows what prescription drugs he was being pumped full of, but every time I saw him in his later years I came away thinking the poor guy had totally lost his marbles. I don’t mean that in a light-hearted way. He was genuinely mentally ill, a disturbing person to be around.”
