Actor Tom Hardy will play Elton in the previously announced biopic about Elton's life called "Rocketman" - screenplay by Lee Hall.

Interesting choice. Doesn't look a thing like Elton, but maybe his personality will capture his mannerisms and persona.

Here's a great article from The Guardian about David Furnish, Elton John's husband. In it we not only get a better picture of David himself, but also of Sir Elton and the John-Furnish family:

Happy 67th Birthday, Sir Elton!

I saw the advertisement for the upcoming concert on fathomevents when I was at the movies on Sunday. I would love to see it, but even though we get the ads for fathomevents, they don't show them here.

Happy for them, and for all my friends who will benefit from this new freedom!

Good wishes for the future!

The CofE currently has no provision for same sex marriages, but it is a topic under heated debate. The Book of Common Prayer would have to be seriously rewritten.
