  • Trivia
    Registered his civil partnership with long-term partner Elton John at Windsor Town Hall on December 21, 2005, the first day that civil unions between homosexuals were legal in England and Wales. The ceremony was performed by Registrar Clair Williams, who also presided over the union between King Charles III and Camilla Queen Consort. In December 2014, they upgraded their relationship to a marriage following the legalization of homosexual marriage earlier in the year.
  • Quotes
    [on Gnomeo & Juliet (2011)] When Elton (John) and I work on things, we want to invest out time, creativity and energy in things that hopefully bring the world closer together, not further apart. The movie's message essentially says it doesn't matter if you're a red or a blue. At the end of the day parents should love their children and want what's best for them. Elton and I try not be judgmental people. We are not advocates in the placard-carrying way. We just try to live our life by example.
