ONE MORE REASON ROD HATES ELTON

Pop superstars ELTON JOHN and ROD STEWART are bitter rivals — swapping insults over record sales and the size of their bank accounts. Now the Maggie May singer reveals there’s much more to the bad blood. Rod insists Elton cheated him out of movie stardom. Stewart claims he was slated to take the Pinball Wizard role in the 1975 rock opera Tommy — until “Elton told me not to” do the movie. Rod hit the roof later when backstabbing Elton nabbed the part and a place in rock history.
