KMazur/WireImage for ChopardRod Stewart‘s in the doghouse with his wife…and with Elton John. Sir Rod recently teased his longtime friend — who he calls “Sharon” and who calls him “Phyllis” in return — about Elton’s announcement earlier this year that his current tour will be his last.

Stewart admits to the Daily Telegraph, “He’s really [upset] with me. ‘Cause when he did announce [the tour], I sent him a text: ‘What, again dear?’ And I got nothing back!”

Rod says his wife Penny Lancaster “says I’ve got to phone him up. [And] I will get round to it.”

Stewart says, “He’s got two kids so I can understand why he wants to pack it in. ‘Cause he’s always worked harder than me. Wow, does he work hard!”

But then the singer threw shade at Elton again, saying, “But he only sings for 30 minutes [per show].”

The fur started flying between the old pals back in March, when Stewart appeared on Watch What Happens L!ve With Andy Cohen and called farewell tours in general “dishonest,” adding “It stinks of selling tickets.”
