Sir Elton John’s Mother Not Interested in Her Grandson

If there is one grandmother who didn’t rush over to hug her grandson and rain endless kisses on his face, it is Sir Elton John’s mother Sheila Farebrother. What is more, she is not going to. To crown it, she wasn’t even aware of a grandson coming on.

When the famous composer and his partner David Furnish celebrated a long-expected addition to their family, son Zachary by surrogate mother, in December, the 86-year-old lady had been out of touch with her 64-year-old son for almost three years – and she openly admitted to the Sun that she neither knew about the event nor cared.

Mrs. Farebrother claims that Sir Elton refused to have anything to do with her since June 2008 after they had had an altercation. According to several sources, the Sun reports, the reason behind the clash was an offensive remark addressed by Farebrother to David Furnish. The celebrity’s mother declined to comment on the scene that had led to the fallout. She said it was “a painful subject” and the main thing about it is that her son had broken up with her completely.

She had to admit that there was something not very pleasant that she said to Furnish, 48, but insisted there was much more to that – on which she didn’t want to expand.

Back in 2005 Mrs. Farebrother turned up in Windsor for Sir Elton and Furnish’s civil partner ceremony, but she was conspicuously absent at the welcome of little Zachary on Christmas Day, an event for which Furnish’s parents flew over from Canada to California. Commenting on that, Mrs. Farebrother said that she was pained when her son had ignored the funeral of his stepfather.

The pianist’s spokesperson, when questioned, replied that the subject of Sir Elton’s relations with his mother had never come up.
