A breathtaking love story of Sir Elton John and David Furnish

In his interview with Parade magazine, Elton John recalled his first meeting with his partner, David Furnish. The British singer confessed he was instantly attracted to David.

In his 62, John was sick and tired of dating someone younger, who just used him for exotic trips and expensive gifts like Cartier watches and sports cars. That is why, Sir Elton felt some inexplicable attraction to David Furnish, a shy Canadian filmmaker, who was just beginning his path in showbiz.

The men met at the AIDS Foundation party in 1994. John said they talked the whole evening, and next day, they had their first real date.

The next night we had dinner. After it, we consummated our relationship. We fell in love quickly.

Since that time, the couple’s relationships developed with enormous speed. David and Elton were almost inseparable and immediately stole the spotlight with their every public appearance together. In his interview in 2001, Furnish recalled what it’s really like dating Elton John:

I am the luckiest of all men on Earth.

Every Saturday for 16 years, we’ve sent each other a card, no matter where we are in the world, to say how much we love each other.
