Elton John - Interview - 1987 

I really admire Elton John's honesty, love and respect for his former wife.

Thank you for the rare Elton Material!!!

he did say in an american paper in 2001 that he had an attraction to women

You can tell that this was right before Elton got clean...he's hardly making any sense, not making eye contact, and just rambling...

@Palmeriracing you probably already realize this but the ultimate reason he broke off the marraige aside from the substance abuse was the fact that he is truly happier with a man

Yhis is TV AM, 80's UK show, breakfast tv. Anne Diamond in the intervewer

his voice changed alot after 1987. he sounded brilliant that year but after 1988 he sounded blown again drug use. although it got deeper during naturally in the early 80's that were the best he sounded. he kept his tenor for 39 years. adele was the latest victim to voice trouble her voice has changed dramatically lost its huskiness. shame she lost it at just 23

Where have you been for the past 35 years?

I think Elton was just going through the "I'm gay, but I'm married to a woman so I am not about to insult her in public..." They divorced shorty afterwards anyway.

@1caninelover, he had already killed the better part of his career by that point by saying he was bisexual in Rolling Stone, certainly ha has bounced back, but never to his former glory. and in any case, he has stated that he didnt know he was full on gay until a year before the divorce, so thats what makes me think he didnt already know. sorry, but it took too long.

This is awesome! I just posted an extremely rare 20 minute interview with Elton from 1987, check it out :)

was this after his throat surgery?

Some people are bi-sexual. Get over it.

Chill dude. No sense in verbally assaulting someone on RU-vid. Waste of energy I'd say.

im sorry, but it took him way too long to figure out he was gay, i mean, we all knew it before he did!
