Legendary gay pop singer-songwriter Elton John’s stage outfits will be given their own dressing room at a festival this year.

The ‘I’m Still Standing’ singer was confirmed as a headline act at Bestival, a four-day annual festival held on the Isle of Wight, England.

Record producer and organizer Rob Da Bank has claimed the star has not made any ‘diva-like’ demands.

‘It wasn’t too complicated to get Elton booked – no diva-ish antics or crazy demands,’ he told the Daily Star.

Straight ally Ben Cohen confessed that his hearing loss has improved with the help of Sir Elton John.

The anti-bullying crusader, who was diagnosed with severe hearing loss in his early 20s, never sought treatment because of his vigorous rugby activities.

‘I’m into the profound hearing loss category. I’m going deaf,’ said Cohen.

‘Certain sounds – such as the letters T and K – I can’t really hear at all’.

Elton John and David Furnish have agreed to be ambassadors of Britain’s National Student Pride in Brighton on the south coast of England.

Their support caps plans for the most celebrity-packed Student Pride to date this weekend (1 to 3 March).

Gay superstar Elton John has announced he will release his new album 'The Diving Board' in September this year.

A host of celebrities say that AIDS can be overcome through love, by tweeting an image of their blood along with the word 'Love Is In My Blood'.

The Elton John and David Furnish family portrait just got a little more crowded with the addition of a new son named Elijah Joseph Daniel who was born earlier this month (11 January).

The couple's other son, Zachary Jackson Levon, was born two years ago.

Fathers and sons posed for their first official family portrait for People magazine and the parents talked about the new baby who was born in Los Angeles to the same surrogate mother as Zachary.

Gay pop legend Elton John and partner David Furnish have become parents for the second time, it was confirmed.

Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John was born in Los Angeles via a surrogate on Friday evening (11 January).

Speaking to Hello, the happy couple said: ‘Both of us have longed to have children, but the reality that we now have two sons is almost unbelievable.

‘The birth of our second son completes our family in a most precious and perfect way.

Gay pop legend Elton John and his partner David Furnish have denied reports they have become fathers for a second time.

Speaking to E! Online, a spokesperson for couple said: ‘Reports that Elton and David have had a second child are false.’

On 10 January, several gossip websites and international newspapers reported the pair added to their family via a surrogate in California.

The anonymous surrogate was alleged to e the same woman who delivered their first son Zachary on Christmas Day 2010.

A charity cover of gay pop legend Elton John’s 1971 classic ‘Tiny Dancer’ has topped the Irish singles chart.

Recorded and released by over 300 musicians, the charity single is to raise money for a 4-year-old girl.

Lily-Mae Morrison suffers from neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer of the nervous system.

Affecting around one in 100,000 children, the disease spread to the little girl’s bone marrow which meant she has about 30-40% chance of survival.

Chinese concert goers might find they have less opportunities to see Western performers after Sir Elton John dedicated his Beijing stadium show to dissent artist Ai Weiwei, a persistent thorn in the side of the Chinese communist government.

Western musicians have to submit set list and song lyrics to the government, and promise not to make controversial statements, before given permission to perform in the one-party state.

After a 2008 Bjork concert in Shanghai, in which she chanted 'Tibet, Tibet', many Western acts were refused permits to play in China.

With a net worth of over $320 million, you’d figure Sir Elton John would own just about everything he could desire.

Apparently not, as the Tiny Dancer singer has added yet another set of photographs to his legendary collection, from photographer Ross Watson.

The collection, featuring several shots of semi-naked hunks, will be on display in Melbourne, Australia from January.

Watson caught up with Sir Elton and his son Zachary in Melbourne during the singer's sell-out tour of Australia.

Back in 2007, Anderson Cooper was still five years away from coming out publicly as a gay man.

But that didn't stop the editors of Out Magazine from featuring his image on the cover of its annual Out 100 issue alongside an image of Jodie Foster who has remained virtually silent about her sexuality.
