The biographical film "Rocketman", dedicated to the popular British singer and musician Elton John, was released on large screens in 2019. It details the fate of the legendary musician. Including his addictions, relationships with people around him, friends and creativity. Much attention is paid to how he overcame the uncertainties and doubts that existed in him. Elton John, who is considered one of the best and most famous rock singers of all time, has since become more calm and peaceful. He made significant efforts so that not only creativity, but also his family play a big role in his life.
A family
Elton John is one of the most extravagant musicians of our time. In a 1976 interview with reporters, he confessed to his bisexuality. At that time, attitudes towards minorities were neglected almost everywhere in the world.
Eight years later, the musician married a sound engineer Renata Blauel, but divorced a few years later, saying that he was more attracted to men. After that, a prolonged crisis came in the personal life of a celebrity. John was overcome by depression, with which he struggled with the help of alcohol and illegal substances. Several times he was forced to undergo treatment for drug addiction.

The situation changed in 1993 when he met David Furnish. He helped him get rid of the addictions. When it was officially allowed in the UK to enter into same-sex marriage, John was one of the first to take the opportunity to formally legalize relations.
The couple tried to adopt a child, but to no avail. In 2009, they registered a child from a Ukrainian boarding school, but they were refused because in this country same-sex marriages were not officially recognized.
Elton and David became fathers in 2010. A surrogate mother from California gave birth to a boy Zachariah. Three years later, in the same way they had a second son, who was given the name Elijah.
It is said that after this, the views on John’s life changed dramatically. For example, after the birth of one of his sons, he announced that he was interrupting the concert tour in order to spend more time with his children.
Close friends say that Elton is a loving father who takes care of his sons. Together with her husband Furnish, they have repeatedly stated that they intend to provide children with everything necessary so that they do not need anything.

Of great importance is the fact that fathers have been able to date to protect their sons from unnecessary public attention, despite the stellar parents and the famous godmother.
Elton John spends a lot of time with them after giving birth
After the birth of Elijah and Zachariah, John and Furnish admitted that now their life is entirely devoted to these children.
John realized that spending time with his boys was more important than creativity and success. Having children changed the financial habits of John and Furnish, demonstrating that they began to spend money only on what was really needed.
According to the musician, before they had children, both lived their own lives, focusing exclusively on themselves. Often their spending was completely unreasonable and unrealistically large. Now they have reconsidered their views on life. They understood, for example, that they had plenty of things. In fact, they no longer need anything.
Family home
Now they all live together in a huge house. In addition to the picturesque place in which they wanted to settle, another condition was that there should be enough space for children to play and the opportunity to equip their personal space as they like.

Furnish says that in creating an artistic image of their home, they focused on colorful and positive things, so that there was a constant opportunity to enjoy life. The interior uses works by artists such as Keith Haring and Philip Taaffe.
Elton John and his sons like the German band Kraftwerk and the British science fiction series Thunderbirds: International Rescuers
John and his sons share a love for the German band Kraftwerk, which plays electronic music. Elton believes that he likes their music so much, since there is constantly talking about robots.
Also, all three enjoy a restart of the British-produced science fiction series Thunderbirds: International Rescuers.
The musician emphasizes that he approves this film much more than Star Wars, as there are fewer fights and battles. According to him, he likes Thunderbirds, as this is a story about helping and saving people. When his children watch Star Wars, then they will always fight.
They spend family vacations together.
In August 2018, John and Furnish vacationed in Cannes on their yacht. Photographers captured a couple and their two sons as they jumped from the deck into the water. Also in the pictures, John helped his boys climb back onto the yacht.

Despite the fact that the children are trying not to deny anything, John notes that he educates the brothers so that they know about work.
He wants to be a better dad than his father.
John once admitted that in childhood he did not feel the love and affection of his father. In his opinion, this was one of the reasons that led to his dependence.
He uses this sad experience to become a great father for his children. John's dad, as you know, never told his son that he loved him. Therefore, Elton himself carefully monitors that everything happens in his family differently. Elton says that he never stops telling children that he loves them. They never get tired of repeating this in response.
His father also never showed physical affection for John, rarely went into his room, did not spend weekends and holidays in the company of his son. When John's sons tell him that they love him, he takes it as a sign that he is a good father.
A big family is going to their birthdays
On his 71st birthday, John shared postcards made by his sons, as well as flowers donated by Furnish.
On one of the cards it was written: "I love you, daddy." Furnish also wrote a message for his husband on Instagram. It had the following text:
"Happy birthday to my incomparable husband. You do not cease to amaze me with your tireless thirst for life and an infinitely kind heart. I love to share my life with you. Thank you for everything you do for our world. I love you."
