Elton John will marry David Furnish

Sir Elton John will marry his long time partner David Furnish! They are now able to do this, due to changes to marriage laws in Great Britain.

After 21 years of relationship, Elton John and David Furnish are about to make it official for the world.

Of course they would have done it sooner, but gay marriage was not legal in the U.K. until recently. David Furnish told the Las Vegas Journal Review that now is the time, even though 'we don't feel the need to take an extra step legally. But since we're committed for life, we feel it's really important to take that step, and take advantage of that amazing change in legislation. We all live by example'.

Regarding the big bash part, that appears to be off! 'With the kids, everything is different. I think what we'll do is go to a registry office in England in May, and take the boys with us, and a couple of witnesses'.
