Cheryl Crow and Elton John Roast Meghan at 2023 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, a night typically filled with celebration and nostalgia, took a sharp turn for Meghan Markle as she became the subject of ridicule and mockery.
Despite her absence from the event, the Duchess of Sussex found herself targeted by two prominent presenters, Cheryl Crow and Elton John.
The duo did not shy away from expressing their criticism and disdain towards the former royal, who was being honored for her solo career at the Hall of Fame.
As Cheryl Crow graced the stage to perform some of her iconic hits like “All I Want to Do If It Makes You Happy” and “Enjoy This Sunday,” she didn't miss the opportunity to address Meghan Markle indirectly.
In a moment that stirred the audience, Cheryl remarked, “This song is for Meghan Markle, who I'm sure is taking a shower in sunny California while the rest of us are braving the New York weather.”
Her tone shifted as she expressed her disillusionment with Meghan, once admiring her as an independent woman but now branding her as a selfish and manipulative figure who has betrayed those around her.
The crowd erupted in cheers and applause as Cheryl Crow's lyrics seemed to allude to aspects of Meghan Markle's life, adding a layer of subtle mockery to the performance.
The atmosphere intensified as Elton John, a seasoned artist who had previously been inducted in 2021, took the stage.
Known for his close ties to Princess Diana, Elton John did not hold back in expressing his disappointment and anger towards Meghan and Prince Harry's actions.
During his acceptance speech, Elton John highlighted his gratitude towards his supporters but notably omitted any acknowledgment towards Meghan Markle.
He condemned her as a traitor, a lowlife, and a hypocrite, emphasizing the hurt he personally felt due to her deceitful actions.
Elton John recounted how Meghan had deceived him into believing she genuinely cared for Prince Harry and the royal family, only to later realize her true intentions of using him for personal gain.
As Elton John delved into a medley of his classic songs, including “I'm Still Standing” and “Rocketman,” the lyrics appeared to carry a veiled message directed at Meghan and Harry.
The poignant performance underscored the betrayal and heartbreak caused by Meghan's alleged lies and manipulation, painting her as a divisive figure tarnishing the royal family's legacy.
In a final act of defiance, Elton John's rendition of “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” encapsulated the sentiment of bidding farewell to illusions and false promises.
The ballad symbolized a departure from a facade of glamour and prestige, hinting at the stark reality behind the glitz and glamor of royalty.
As the ceremony concluded, the echoes of Cheryl Crow and Elton John's pointed remarks lingered in the air, serving as a stark reminder of the controversies surrounding Meghan Markle and the enduring impact of her actions on those around her.
