David Furnish Was 'Shocked' and 'Taken Aback' to Hear Husband Elton John Say He Wanted Kids in Archival Interview (Exclusive)
David Furnish and Elton John are parents to sons Elijah, 11, and Zachary, 13. Furnish tells PEOPLE that he was "shocked" when he found an old interview of his husband saying he wanted to have kids.
While chatting with PEOPLE at the New York Film Festival premiere of Elton John: Never Too Late on Tuesday, Oct. 1, Furnish, 61, shared that before the couple welcomed sons Elijah, 11, and Zachary, 13, he didn't think the "I'm Still Standing" singer, 77, wanted to have kids. "As he bids farewell to his fans in a historic send-off unlike any other, he journeys back in time to his humble beginnings as a struggling musician who must overcome adversity, abuse, and addiction in order to become the icon he is today," the official synopsis for the film reads. "Packed with all of his greatest hits, as well as lesser-known gems from the 70s and unseen footage from Elton’s personal archives, this intimate and emotionally-charged story gives a front row seat to music history: Elton’s groundbreaking performance at the Troubadour Club in 1970, writing 'Tiny Dancer,' playing live with John Lennon in Lennon’s last ever public performance."
