In 2020, the film Rocketman was released, which was a large success and showed several turbulent years within the lifetime of the living legend of British and world music Elton John. The famous musician, a person who refused to obey the foundations of society within the 1980s and hid his true self, lived the way he wanted. Extravagant costumes, make-up and "crazy" glasses that few women, would dare to wear became his trademark, and his sexuality was rumored for a long time.
At the time, the 36-year-old musician swore eternal love to German Renata Blauel, six years younger than him, in 1984, and their wedding was very romantic. The couple got married in faraway Australia, and their godfather was John Reed - the then manager and former lover of Elton John. Allegedly, Elton's boyfriend Clark was watching the ceremony through the hotel window. No one hid the surprise of this wedding, and musician Rod Stewart sent a telegram during which he wrote, alluding to Elton's song 'I'm Still Standing': - "Maybe you are still standing, but we're all on the f****** floor!"
As revealed in the movie Rocketman, Elton met Blauel while filming his hit 'Don’t Go Breaking My Heart'. the attractive German, a former attendant, worked as a sound engineer and simply charmed the British man. They became close both professionally and privately, and in early 1984, Elton proposed to her while enjoying Indian food and chatting, and they got married three days later. The marriage between Renata and Elton lasted for four years, during which she struggled with all the attention they attracted, and also the musician with numerous articles about his sexuality. They divorced in 1988, and Elton John "came out of the closet" and began addressing himself as a gay man. The musician had relationships with girls before also- a few years earlier he had been dating a woman named Linda, but that love ended quickly.
Today, the musician is in a very stable and happy marriage. Since 1993, he and David Furnish, with whom he joined the civil society in 2005, the same day when it had been possible within the UK, and when same-sex marriages were allowed in 2014, their union became official and within the eyes of the law. The couple has two sons, and they named them Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John and Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John.
