Elton: Here come the grooms?

Miami Herald - November 4, 2004


Elton John is planning to become a married man. The flamboyant performer is saying that he wants to wed his longtime companion, David Furnish, reports MSNBC.com.

"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 Rocket Man told the German weekly celebrity magazine Gala. John is in Berlin to accept Germany's "Bambi" media award for his work to fight AIDS.

The 57-year-old admitted that in his boozy, druggy youth he lived "like a wild animal," but added, "I have never been so happy . . . I cannot imagine a life without [Furnish]."

A source who knows the singer says, "I didn't hear him say those exact words, but I know those are his sentiments."

John's rep, however, denies the story, saying, "Elton's not planning to marry David."
