During the interview, the producer also opened up about his husband, Sir Elton John, and how his recovery is going after a recent hip injury. He said: “Your health has to come first and I don't think he would have been able to finish the tour if he wasn't going to go in and have the hip surgery done so I'm actually really relieved and excited.
