Elton John: I couldn't use a washing machine until I was 43

Partner David Furnish had to teach him

Wednesday, 11 July 2007

Elton John has revealed he used to be hopeless around the house.

The pop legend, 60, says he lived such a pampered life that he couldn't even put his smalls in a spin until he was 43.

‘I wasn't ashamed of being a drug addict, I was ashamed to ask someone how to work a washing machine,’ he admits in a US TV interview.

‘I couldn't do anything for myself.’

But Sir Elton says he had to pull his finger out when he met his civil partner David Furnish, 44.

‘David was a grown up,' says the musician.

Now the happy couple live in contented domestic bliss.
