Out singer Elton John appeared Monday
on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where he discussed his family
with host Ellen DeGeneres.
“If you had said to me ten years ago
I'd be sitting on your show married to the man I love and have two
beautiful children, I would have said you put acid in my drink,”
John
said, referring to his husband, filmmaker David Furnish, and two
sons, Zachary, 5, and Elijah, 3.
“But life throws you challenges and
life throws you curve balls – and great curve balls. And these two
children have come along at a time I never thought I'd have children.
They are the greatest thing in our lives.”
“There are no words to describe how
much we love these boys. They're just amazing,” he added.
John and Furnish last month celebrated
their first wedding anniversary, though the couple first started
dating in 1993 and entered a civil partnership in 2005.
