Elton John has a loving gay partner, who goes through hard times and supports him at work. Elton John made his bisexual public in 1976 and married Renate Blauel – a German woman – in 1984. However, the marriage lasted only four years. After the divorce, Elton John explained to Rolling Stone that he was more comfortable loving men.
5 years after divorce, Elton John met David Furnish – current husband – at a party organized by the singer. Elton immediately fell in love with David – a Canadian film producer 15 years younger than him – because of his elegance and shy personality. Your voice asked for a phone number and started flirting, dating. Elton John told Prade magazine: “We went to dinner the next day. The relationship of the two progresses and then fall in love quickly.”
5 months later, at the Oscars ceremony in 1994, fans caught the same pair of people holding hands on the red carpet with radiant expressions. Elton said: “Meeting David is the best thing in my life.” In the same year, he composed Can you feel the love tonight – an Oscar-winning song, included in the soundtrack album of the animated film The lion king. The song is considered as a confession of affection and trust that Elton has in David.
Knowing his son’s real gender and homosexual relationship, Gladys Furnish – David Furnish’s mother – cried for a week. She said that David would never have children of his own and would die from HIV / AIDS – a disease that has killed most gay people in New York and San Francisco.
