Many more arose in the long conversation I had with Taupin recently at his home located three hours north of Los Angeles, in a verdant valley above Santa Barbara.

John has been married twice. He was married to studio engineer Renate Blauel for several years in the '80s.

Presumably they divided those royalties up 50/50, but some writers divide writing into thirds - music, melody, lyrics. Only Bernie and Elton know what they agreed to, but it's probably 50/50.

Elton John was first engaged back in the 1960s to secretary Linda Woodrow, his first lover, but he broke off the relationship just a fortnight before the wedding. He had his first same-sex relationship with Tamla Motown's UK label manager John Reid soon after his career-making US shows in Los Angeles in 1970.

'Tiny Dancer' was suggested to have been written about Bernie Taupin's girlfriend Maxine Feibelmann, who later became his wife. The lyric "blue jean baby, LA Lady, seamstress for the band" was a nod to Maxine as she'd regular tour with Elton and his band, sewing together costumes and fixing clothes when required.

David James Furnish (born 25 October 1962) is a Canadian-British filmmaker and former advertising executive. He is the husband of English singer, pianist and composer Sir Elton John.

What the new parents don't have, despite British tabloid reports to the contrary, are multi-million-dollar nurseries in their homes, four nannies in service, or special baby chefs. “We have one nanny. And we're very hands-on,” John told ABC's Barbara Walters for a 20/20 interview. “And we take him to lunch.”

Did Elton John love Bernie Taupin? ›

As others have pointed out, referencing the movie 'Rocket Man' - they met in 1967. Elton (Reg Dwight) was 20, Bernie was 17. They hit it off right away and have been friends ever since. Bernie is straight, Elton is gay - they were never lovers in any way whatsoever.

On Jan. 11, 2013, John and Furnish welcomed their second son, Elijah Joseph Daniel, in Los Angeles via the same surrogate. “Both of us have longed to have children, but the reality that we now have two sons is almost unbelievable.

Reid and John no longer speak

Reid continued in the music business until reportedly retiring in 1999, a year after divesting himself of an art collection allegedly worth £2 million. He was a judge on the Australian version of The X Factor in 2005 and has since lived a quiet life out of the public eye.

Five-time Grammy winner Elton John and his husband, David Furnish, are the proud parents of two boys.

She's a great girl. I really, really loved her. But, you know… it is one of the things I regret most in my life, hurting her.” Soon after their divorce, Elton told Rolling Stone that he was gay, not bisexual.
