Amazing news! Elton John just announced  a 300 date tour but with it came a the sad reality that he will be retiring when it all wraps up.   In an interview, Elton sited his family as the major reason he wants to slow down. “It’s time to come off the road so I can fully embrace the next important chapter of my life,” he said. “I need to dedicate more time to raising my children.”

 

In 2014, shortly after the legalization of same-sex marriage in the UK, he married long time partner David Furnish. The pair have two sons, Elijah (five) and Zachary (seven). John is also a godparent to the children of various famous friends, including David and Victoria Beckham, and Yoko Ono and John Lennon.
