“I can’t thank you [enough]you are the people who made me. “I want to thank David, Zachary and Elijah for making me the happiest man in the world,” he added, referring to his husband David Furnish and their two sons.

After years of touring, the “Rocket Man” crooner said he found “complete happiness” when he met his partner and started a family together, and explained why he decided to settle down after his last “Farewell Yellow” appearance had decided to step away from the Entertaining Brick Road tour date in 2023.

“I found complete and utter happiness and bliss when I met David and when I had my children, our children,” he shared. “And it gave me so much satisfaction. I’ve never felt as happy as I do now.”

“As you know, I decided to stop touring because I’m 77 years old and I’ve done all there was to do: play. I succeeded,” he continued, according to the source. “I’ve been there and done it.”

However, John noted, music will always be a part of him.

“I still have to make room because I’m still going to have music in my life,” he explained. “But the most important things in my life are David, Zachary and Elijah and my family and friends. I found utopia and I’m so excited.”

“Even when I was in my darkest times, I still made music, I still recorded music, so I have to thank music for being the most incredible inspiration to me throughout my life,” he concluded .
