Elton John apologises to Brian McFadden over Irish Son comments

Elton John reportedly plans to apologise to Brian McFadden over earlier criticism of his song Irish Son, saying he cannot keep his mouth shut.

Elton John is allegedly planning to apologise to Brian McFadden with regard to those comments he made about the former Westlife star’s dire song Irish Son. "Brian is probably a nice man, but I nearly died when I listened to Irish Son," Elton said at the time. "I absolutely hated it. It's the worst lyric on a record I've ever heard. I had to take it off in case I committed suicide. It's just horrible. No, no, no."

Elton now appears to regret the outburst and the criticism, saying "I am going to take him out to dinner to apologise. I just can't keep my mouth shut."
