But he's already got millions, so don't worry, people, he won't starve. Elton John, as you know, is all set to civilly unite (hmm, not sure that works) with partner-David-Furnish tomorrow, but today's news is that he's apparently turned down a £5.7million exclusivity deal for coverage rights. The singer's agent said that the couple had considered taking the offer from a US TV channel and using the money for charitable causes via the Elton John Foundation, but ultimately decided that they wanted to keep the day private, in line with their earlier plans to keep the ceremony low key. John and Furnish get civilised tomorrow in Windsor.
Elsewhere in Elton getting 'married' news, the grooms held a joint stag do last night at Too2Much in Soho. It was compered by Paul O'Grady (so not exactly your standard pub crawl, then) and guests included the likes of the Osbournes, Bryan Adams, Neil Tennant, Gary Barlow, Kid Rock, Jake Shears and Cilla Black. Compere O'Grady said "We're going to tie them to a lamppost, cover them with shaving foam. It's an old-fashioned stag do."
Yeah, right. I'll give ten bob to the person who comes forward to say that they saw Elton John wrapped naked round a lamppost on a London street at 5am this morning. I can wait, if you're too traumatised to do it right away.
