Infamous Rock Quotes -- Elton John
Whose Mouth Had a Foot in It?
"There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex."
-- Elton John, 1976
Despite Elton John's affection for bejeweled spectacles, frocks and tiaras, his fans were shocked to discover he wasn’t straight. However, reluctant to reveal that he was gay, the biggest rock star on the planet told Rolling Stone he was bisexual, adding that "people should be very free with sex, but they should draw the line at goats."
Unfortunately, his fans weren't as open-minded, and their love affair with him cooled. After racking up seven consecutive No. 1 albums, Elton watched his next two albums, 'A Single Man' and 'Victim of Love,' tank. Fortunately, his talent for crafting pop songs like the resilient 'I'm Still Standing' was undeniable and his career rebounded in the 1980s. He came clean about his homosexuality in 1984 and last year, in a lavish, star-studded ceremony, the now-Sir Elton John left his single-man days behind by marrying longtime companion David Furnish.
