Elton John is currently working on two musicals, and is already open to ideas regarding a third.The update was shared by the musician’s husband David Furnish, who opened up about Sir Elton’s current creative projects during a new interview.Speaking to The Sun at the 32nd annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscars viewing party last weekend (March 10), Furnish revealed that the renowned singer, songwriter and pianist currently has his hands full with two musicals.The first of which is The Devil Wears Prada – which premiered in the UK back in July – and Tammy Faye, which recently relocated to a Nederlander Theatre on Broadway.However, although Furnish said that they were “quite busy as it is” with the two projects, they haven’t closed themselves off to the idea of taking on a third (via The International News).“[As for] a catalogue musical? We’re always looking at it,” he revealed. “I haven’t found anything yet that really covers… I think if we wanted to do it, we would want to do it in a way that was really innovative and really exciting and different.“We’re open to any great ideas and it’s a wonderful catalogue,” he added.Elsewhere on the night, Furnish also shared an insight into his partner’s health ahead of him going into surgery.The procedure is set to be a knee operation and, according to his partner, should leave the ‘Rocketman’ singer feeling like “a new man”.“He’s doing amazing,” he told the outlet during the viewing party.

Elton John speaks out against Suella Braverman’s call to ban gay asylum seekers from UK
Elton John has spoken out against Suella Braverman’s calls to ban LGBTQ+ asylum seekers from coming to the UK.The home secretary faced backlash this week after she said that “simply being gay, or a woman” is not enough of a reason to gain refugee status in the UK.Addressing a US think tank on Tuesday (September 26), she said (via Sky News): “There are vast swathes of the world where it is extremely difficult to be gay, or to be a woman. Where individuals are being persecuted, it is right that we offer sanctuary.“But we will not be able to sustain an asylum system if in effect simply being gay, or a woman, and fearful of discrimination in your country of origin is sufficient to qualify for protection.”Music icon John has now responded to the home secretary and accused her of “legitimising hate and violence”.A post shared by Elton John (@eltonjohn)In a statement released alongside husband David Furnish through their AIDS Foundation, they said: “We are very concerned about the UK Home Secretary’s comments stating how discrimination for being gay or a woman should not be reason enough to qualify for protection under international refugee laws.“Nearly a third of all nations class LGBTQ+ people as criminals and homosexuality is still punishable by death in 11 countries.”It went on: “Dismissing the very real danger LGBTQ+ communities face risks further legitimising hate and violence against them.”The statement concluded that leaders “need to provide more compassion, support and acceptance for those seeking a safer future”.John has shared statements via his foundation in the past to call out homophobia.
