Twenty five years after their personal relationship ended, Elton finally cut all ties with John but it was not amicable. In fact, in 1998, Elton sued John for allegedly stealing millions from him.

"John claimed to have found a £20 million hole in his accounts and sued Reid, an associate and accountants PricewaterhouseCoopers. John argued that his management team had not met certain touring expenses out of the "generous" commission he paid them," the Telegraph reported. "Reid and John settled out of court — Reid paying John £3.4 million — but the case against PWC and Reid's colleague Andrew Haydon, both of whom contested the allegations, hit the High Court in 2000."
