According to David, his partner is ready to focus on their family and be more present in his kids’ lives. Elton and David are taking parenting more seriously and want to witness milestones with their 13 and 11-year-olds. They have both been present dads over the years but intend to do more as the boys reach their teenage years.

Elton’s health issues

Many assumed Elton was getting off work because of his unstable health and a few dangerous falls and surgeries in the past. Last August, he had an accident while at home in Nice, France, which is one of his few injuries so far. He underwent knee replacement surgery in April to correct his bent knee and get back to dancing again.

Elton also struggled with addiction in the past but was able to rid himself of the drugs and now encourages others to do the same. As he parks the touring bus for a stable family life, the music icon intends to release more music as he is not retiring from work.
