Sheila Farebrother explained her 64-year-old son has cut her out of his life "completely" after what was believed to be a disagreement with his partner David Furnish, with whom Elton fathers four-month-old baby Zachary.
She explained: "He has cut me off completely. It happened three years ago this June. He has had nothing to do with me since then.
"I don`t want to go into what caused it. It is a painful subject. My son cut me out of his life for good."
The 86-year-old widower - who is still financially supported by the singer - also claimed she has "no particular interest" in meeting her new grandson, who was brought into the world via a surrogate mother on Christmas Day (25.12.10).
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, she added: "I have no particular interest really. You will have to ask them about that."
Despite Sheila having sold a treasure trove of Elton memorabilia for £28,820 when she recently moved house, she also insisted it had "nothing to do" with the rift between her and her son.
She said: "That has nothing to do with it. I moved into a smaller place and had nowhere to keep all that stuff."
