ELTON JOHN TO MARRY BOYFRIEND DAVID FURISH IN 2014

In a recent interview he appeared the Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show, the music legend revealed that him and partner David Furish are to be married.

In a guest appearance on the “Jimmy Kimmel’s live!” to promote his new album “ The Diving Board”. The  legendary singer, Elton John revealed that him and David are going to tie the knot next year. The entertainer and his film partner are in a civil partnership they entered into in England back in 2005, after beginning their relationship in 1993.

While speaking to Kimmel, when the late night show asked him if would take the advantage of the new law that the English parliament recently passed to legalize same sex-marriage “Yeah, we will do next May when it comes out, If the laws are gonna help us again, as a famous gay couple we will do it. It’s our duty to do it to make sure everyone knows that this is something that’s a gift that we never dreamed we’d ever get”.

For a gay couple, Elton said that “30, 40 years ago” it was difficult even to just “come out of the closet,” so for them to finally have the rights to legally marry is something that is definitely long awaited. He went on to say that although at first he thought his civil partnership with Furnish would not make much of a difference on their relationship, in fact it really helped because of the commitment”.

The couple have two children together born to a surrogate mother, born less than three years apart.  John continues to be a massive supporter of same sex marriage and the LGBT community and is even going to be performing in Russia this December despite the country’s anti- gay legislation.
