Elton John To Have ‘Quiet’ Wedding With Partner
Elton John and his partner David Furnish are planning a low-profile wedding in May, following a change in British law allowing gay marriages.
The singer told NBC’s Today show that he wants to celebrate “very quietly,” and added: “It will be a joyous occasion and we will have our children.”
The couple, who have been in a civil partnership since 2005, has two children.
In quotes released on NBC’s website Monday, the singer said: “We shouldn’t just say ‘Oh, well, we have a civil partnership, we’re not going to bother to get married’. We will get married.”
