"It's my rock." This is how Sir Elton John (77) has recently defined his husband, David Furnish (62), who is constantly taking care of him due to his recent health complications. Specifically, the gradual and irreversible loss of vision of the singer of "Candle in the Wind," a tribute song to his close friend Princess Diana on the occasion of her passing.
Elton John and David Furnish attended the premiere of the musical "The Devil Wears Prada" at the Dominion Theatre in London's West End last Sunday, where they received affection from numerous friends, including Liz Hurley, Anna Wintour, and Donatella Versace.
Elton shared his insecurities after the show, mentioning the difficulties he faced due to his eye infection. Despite this, he expressed gratitude for the invaluable support of his husband, whom he met in 1993.
Before his rise to fame, David Furnish, originally from Toronto, Canada, graduated with honors from the Ivey Business School at the University of Western Ontario. He excelled in his career, eventually becoming the youngest Account Services Director at the company after relocating to London.
On the personal side, David is described by those close to him as a shy, decisive, affectionate, and elegant man. He and Elton John founded their own production company, Rocket Pictures, and have expanded their family through surrogacy, welcoming Zachary in 2010 and Elijah three years later.
The John-Furnish family, known for their itinerant lifestyle, owns luxurious properties in various countries, including a historic residence in Berkshire, England, neighboring the Clooneys.
With Elton John's estimated fortune of $650 million, they have acquired multiple properties worldwide, showcasing their success and lavish lifestyle.
