BERLIN (AFP) - British pop legend Elton John (news) plans to marry his longtime boyfriend David Furnish, saying he has "never been so happy".
"We haven't set a date and it surely won't be a big public ceremony but I would like to place my life in his hands with a wedding vow," the 57-year-old told German weekly celebrity magazine Gala.
"I have never been so happy."
John, who did not reveal in which country he planned to tie the knot, said he had lived for years "like a wild animal" with a lifestyle marked by drugs, alcohol, depression and suicide attempts.
"Today I am happy that person no longer exists."
He called the 40-year-old Canadian-born Furnish "the most important person in my life".
"I cannot imagine a life without him."
John said he had grown fed up with fame and would like to lead a quieter life, but he said it was unlikely he would shy away from the spotlight for long.
The singer was married to studio technician Renate Blauel from 1984 to 1988. He has been linked to Furnish since 1993 in what London's Observer has called "the most conspicuous gay couple in the world."
John is to accept Germany's "Bambi" media award in Berlin in November for his charity work to fight AIDS (news - web sites), German publisher Burda said Tuesday. His foundation has raised nearly 40 million euros (50 million dollars) for research into the disease.
Well, now... though his tongue is certainly in his cheek, Steve brings up a good point -- Elton John, I would say is as gay as he is bald. His celebrity, his wealth, his enormous remove, all contribute to a REVISION of reality in our heads, when convenient, when that is going with the grain. We do this as much as we can, whenever we can.
All the people you named have been seen with the opposite sex too. In an interview Elton claimed to be bi. Rod Stewart has had romances with babes (if you believe the tabloids) and he was also in the hospital to have his stomach pump (many years ago) for sucking too many cocks in an evening.
In an interview (don't ask me to site it - that would take some research) Hef himself was asked if he ever tried gay stuff, his response was "let's just say in those days we experimented a lot". So if you ever get to meet him, you could ask.
I think Elton while he may be bi, leans towards the guys. I still enjoy his music. Wouldn't stop me from buying a CD or going to a concert. Same with Rod and the rest. Not homophobic, are you? You did so well with the solo girl sites, how about solo twinks?
BTW - I hope I don't have to mention that it would not be polite to ask Hef if he is gay. He may take it as a pass and you could enjoy a whole new experience in life.
Donny didn't give ya enough shit in this thread, so I'm just giving you shit for grins. Enjoy Thanksgiving if you celebrate it.
