Sir Rod Stewart once insulted McFly frontman Tom Fletcher as he criticised his singing abilities, without realising he was on speaker phone.
The Strictly Come Dancing star reminisced about when the Maggie May singer called his bandmate Danny Jones, and let rip into Tom's vocals.
Tom, 36, told Metro’s Guilty Pleasures, that he once had to interrupt the call between his bandmate and the Do Ya Think I'm Sexy singer, 70, to let him know he was on loud speaker.
"Once Rod called us – or called Danny – and he was on loud speaker and he didn’t know he was on loud speaker," Tom told the publication.
"He was telling Danny that Danny should have sung all the songs because his voice is way better than mine, and I was like, “Hi Rod, I’m here.” It was an awful moment."
Talk about an awkward moment!
Rod has never been one to pull his punches, as the public are aware of from some of his feuds - his most famous being his grudge against Elton John.
Rod said he looked on Elton as a 'fierce enemy' but described their jibes as starting out at a 'playful' level before their relationship really turned sour.
When Rod held his Blondes ‘ave More Fun Tour in the 1970s, Elton made sure billboards were plastered on the opposite side of the street that read: “But Brunettes make more money”.
In the paperback version of his 2019 autobiography Me, Elton told readers their disdain for one another reached boiling point when Rod slated him during a TV appearance.
The crooner described Elton's 300 date Farewell Yellow Brick Road retirement tour as 'dishonest' and 'stunk of selling tickets.'
Rod added that he would never dream of announcing his retirement from music so publicly as it was not very 'rock and roll.'
The public dig left Elton reeling for months and he enacted his revenge some time later in his no holds-barred autobiography.
Putting pen to paper, he recoiled: "I certainly didn’t feel like I needed a lecture on the feral spirit of rock and roll from someone who’d spent most of the last decade crooning his way through the Great American Songbook and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas."
