I look at Miley Cyrus and I see a meltdown waiting to happen. And she’s so young! But she’s got two records in the top 20, so who is going to stop her?… Maybe it’s a British thing, but I can spot a car crash before it happens. I was in my dressing room in Las Vegas when they announced that Michael Jackson was playing 50 dates at the O2. I turned to my agent and said: ‘He won’t do a single one of those.’ I could tell you he was going to die…”
“Sometimes you try and reach out to someone and tell them they’re going to have a car crash, like I did with Ryan Adams, Ryan didn’t listen to me. He had the car crash, he recovered, and now he’s back and on great form.”
That’s Elton John speaking but I think he is wrong about Miley Cyrus, who just officially announced her engagement to Liam Hemsworth was off because she doesn’t have time for romance, because it seems to me she isn’t doing what she would be doing if she was falling apart, ergo, she isn’t falling apart. All her “bad behavior” is on the screen. I mean, I would assume she does drugs but who BAD BAD BAD behavior is in the context of entertainment and , really, isn’t that bad.
What has he seen so goddam awful about young Miley: Dirdy dancing? Appearing naked in a video? This is all poster child for crossover stardom not drug addled bullshit stuff.
Elton is such a mother hen and such an aggressively self-satisfied born again sober guy that he can’t tell the difference. Just because he is straight doesn’t nobody is gonna take any drugs any more.
