Elton John reflects on 'emptiness' of early success at documentary premiere
Briefly

"Music saved me, it also nearly killed me. Even when I was at my lowest ebb, I always played music and it moved me, so music's been my saviour throughout my life."
"I really didn't have much to do with the film, but I wanted it to show the difference between being successful when you have no foundation and you're just hurtled into five years of non-stop work, and success and finding out that you're very empty inside."
"Then 47 years later I come off stage for the last time in America at Dodger Stadium again, [and now] I have the most wonderful life: no sadness, just happiness, family, children, husband, friends, sobriety. It was a hell of a difference."
Furnish revealed that now his husband has officially retired from performing live, focusing on being together and spending time with their two sons, 13-year-old Zachary and Elijah, 11, was 'the most important thing' in his life.
