| Trivia Tidbits: Elton John disclosed his bisexuality in 1976 in a Rolling Stone magazine interview. He married German recording engineer Renate Blauel on Valentine’s Day, 1984, but they divorced four years later. John later renounced the bisexual claim and announced he was gay. He has lived with his partner David Furnish, a former advertising executive, since the early 1990s. On December 21, 2005, they entered into a civil partnership. A low-key ceremony with only their parents in attendance was held at the Guildhall, Windsor, followed by a lavish party at their Berkshire mansion. The Sun newspaper marked the event with the headline "Elton Takes David Up the Aisle". In the mid-late 1990s, John formed a friendship with colleague Michael Jackson. Because of the help John gave him during his addiction to painkillers, Jackson dedicated the 1997 album Blood on the Dance Floor to him. John remained silent during the Jackson trial in 2005....OKAY, okay...enough...this is MY web site and though as a rule, I usually try to keep my personal opinions out of it as much as possible, this is one place where I have to break my own rule. I like a lot of Elton’s songs, a few of them are even among the all-time classic’s of rock ’n’ roll history. And if he wants to play with other MEN, that’s his business and I couldn’t care less. BUT!...with regards to some of the things that I BELIEVE Elton John and Michael Jackson got away with behind closed doors, THEY SHOULD BOTH BE TAKEN OUT BACK AND SHOT!...preferably by all the young, defenseless boys who’s lives they have permanently destroyed. Okay...now that I got that out of my system, let’s just acknowledge the fact that even the scum of the earth has a good day every now and then, and move on to another page. |
