Elton John Lost Lover to Suicide
"Saying it’s “the right timing,” Elton John and husband David Furnish have revealed that one of the singer’s past lovers committed suicide because he could not reconcile his strong Christian faith with his homosexuality. "I had absolutely no idea in the world he was going to do this," says the singer. "He threw himself under a truck." The revelation comes after the opening of a play John and Furnish produced together about the relationship between two gay men, one a Christian.
“There was so much grief," Sir Elton tells the Telegraph. Furnish elaborates on the sad story. “He was so tortured by the conflicting views between his sexuality and his strong religious beliefs that he chose to take his own life,” he says of the flame, unnamed "out of respect” for the family. But now, “it's the right timing for this. The religious divide between Right and Left has gotten wider, and so the rights of gay people never got back to where it was heading.”'

It's sad to think that the ex-Lover of Elton John did commit suicide according to Elton John and current lover, David Furnish. Both have agreed that Elton's ex lover committed suicide over the struggles of the homosexuality and Christianity, which the former lover was part of.
Not only would have the ex lover of Elton John struggled over his identity as a Christian and a homosexual, he would also have had to struggle with Elton John's personal faith and beliefs. Married couples are engaged in each other's faiths as well as worshipping practices, if they are indeed married or in a meaningful relationship. I do not know which faith Elton John is involved with, but his high profile life could also have contributed to his ex lovers' suicide.
Why the former ex lover of Elton John did not leave the relationship but remained in it even while struggling is strange. And how and why both Elton John and the lover did not try to help each other out, is also strange. If I knew my lover was having difficulties with his or her sexuality, I would definitely NOT want to be a part of that person's sexual life to want myself to stick around until he or she commits some kind of act which is too detrimental for any person to witness, first hand.
