The Rolling Stones, Keith Richards and Elton John are in a battle over the death of Princess Diana.
Richards took a cheap shot at Elton's song during Diana's funeral.
Now, extras Rick Schwartz has the tape where Elton fires back defending his tribute to Diana.
So, who missed the wings of your [E] compassion?
When Elton John sang a rewritten version of [A] Candle in the Wind at Diana's funeral,
it captured the heart of a world in [B] mourning.
Now, Candle may soon become the biggest selling [Bm] single in history.
But Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards was not [E] impressed.
A week after Diana's funeral, in [Bm] apparently heartless and mean [A]-spirited remarks,
Richards referred to Elton John as, quote, writing songs for dead [Bm] blondes.
And that was not [A] all.
Known for his wild [D] antics on and off stage, Richards was typically [Bm]
irreverent about the late princess as well.
[D] He told the Toronto Sun [E] newspaper, quote,
I never met the chick.
[Bm] How hard is it to be the princess [A] of Wales?
I'm still trying to correlate [Bm] how important she really was in relation to things.
[A] Elton lashed back.
Extra [Bm] obtained an audio tape [A] of the singer expressing [Bm] his outrage at a news conference in Atlanta last week.
I have great respect [F#] for Miss Diana [D] and Charlie Watts and the Rolling Stones as a group.
I just think if they'd have thrown Keith Richards out the back ten years ago, they would have made better records.
This thing is held them [Bm] back.
Dawn Eden, a freelance [B] magazine journalist who's based in New York,
was [Bm] one of the handful of reporters who heard [D] Elton's outburst.
All [Gm] of our mouths were [D] agape.
I mean, this is the sort of quote that money can't [Bm] buy.
Although there's no evidence the two men have [A] feuded in the past,
Eden says Elton was [E] clearly furious with Richards.
I interrupted and I said, are you just saying that because of [Bm] what he said about you?
And Elton looked me in [A] the eye and said, yes, I am.
It [A] even became [E] personal.
Elton, who says [B] he's beaten a drug and [E] alcohol addiction, [Bm] made fun of Richards' appearance.
[F] This is so pathetic.
[G#]
A monkey with arthritis [A] trying to go on stage and [B] look young.
Dawn Eden [E] says while Richards may have made his comments simply as a [B] publicity stunt to help sell the Stones' [E] new album,
this dispute may [A] not be over.
I definitely [B] don't think it's a publicity stunt on Elton's part.
I think Elton's [E] just [B] righteously [F#] angry.
Well, Richards is also critical of how Dodie and Diana tried to flee the paparazzi that night in Paris.
