Elton John's Former Lover Threatens To Tell All

John Reid & Elton JohnElton John's ex-manager and ex-lover John Reid is threatening to cast a shadow over the pop superstar's December 21 wedding to partner David Furnish by releasing a tell-all autobiography about his time with the star.
Reid and John ended a tempestuous 28-year relationship in a messy 2000 court case when the rocker attempted to recover $25.2m (€21.4m) he claims he was owed by one of Reid's former employees.
The battle lost him $14.4m (€12.2m) in legal fees and exposed his extravagant lifestyle to the public, including the staggering $72m (€61.1m) John spent in a 20-month period.
More details about their partnership will enter the public domain if Reid carries out his threat and publishes the memoir.
He recently called the rocker, who will marry Furnish when gay civil partnerships become legal in Britain "a modern-day potentate, everything revolves around him".
