Chris Martin throws shade on Elton John at awards show
-
"The 'High Power' hitmaker began his speech: "I don't really know anything about Elton John, and I'm just gonna read what iHeart wrote for me. So, fingers crossed.
"He and his collaborator Bernie Sanders lived, worked and lived together in an apartment that his partner David furnished. He has some beautiful children. He also has children that are his songs. Who can forget such classics as 'Uptown Girl.'"
He then joked: "And my favorite Elton songs are the romances, particularly the one he wrote for his husband's parents, 'Don't Let Your Son Go Down on Me'."
Something tells me alcohol was involved.
