Sir Elton John Sparks More Death Fears: Rocketman’s Husband David Furnish Admits He’s Tortured ‘With Lot of Anxiety’ Over Partner’s Mortality

David Furnish, the husband of Sir Elton John, has candidly shared his concerns about the singer’s health and the anxiety it brings. In a recent documentary featuring Elton, David found himself emotionally shaken as the legendary musician discussed the sobering reality of not being there to witness key moments in their children’s lives.

At 77, Elton John, who has been married to David, 61, since 2014, has two sons, Zachary, 13, and Elijah, 11. David revealed that their children are filled with anxiety over their father’s mortality, a topic he believes most parents would prefer to avoid discussing with their kids. The documentary, “Elton John: Never Too Late,” directed by Furnish alongside filmmaker RJ Cutler, sheds light on these pressing issues.

David reflected on his husband’s resilience, noting, “Elton has been through so much but remains incredibly strong. He rarely cancels performances and is a fighter.” Watching the documentary, David admitted it stirred up considerable anxiety as he never wants to confront the thought of losing Elton. “I want him around forever. After 30 years together, we are finally at a moment we have always dreamed of,” he expressed.

Elton has recently decided to step away from touring, wanting to embrace precious time with his family. David explained that the decision wasn’t made impulsively; it came from a desire to cherish their family moments more fully. The musician used to perform upwards of 100 shows a year, but priorities shifted with the arrival of their sons.

He noted the emotional gravity of Elton’s statements in the documentary, where the star acknowledged his children’s concerns about his lifespan. “They love their daddy and wish for me to be here forever,” Elton remarked, elaborating on the fears surrounding his physical health. Reports from last year raised alarms when he appeared visibly frail while performing at the Glastonbury festival, compounded by a severe eye infection that has left him partially blind.

Despite these health concerns, Elton remains optimistic about spending quality time with his family. He has expressed a desire to witness his sons grow up, marry, and have children, even as he grapples with the thought of his own mortality. “Time is precious,” he stated, emphasizing the importance of making the most out of the present.

As the couple approaches their 10th anniversary, Elton is adjusting to life off the road, eager to find joy in their shared moments together after a lifetime of constant touring. With these candid conversations and revelations, both David and Elton aim to confront these inevitable realities with grace and love, cherishing the time they have as a family.
