In the film John says of Zachary and Elijah: “They think about my mortality. They worry about my mortality.”

Next, referring to Furnish, the co-parent of the boys, John continues, “Not so much David, but me.”

The “Sad Songs” singer then explains that Zachary and Elijah “love their daddy, so they want me to be around forever, [and] I would love to be around forever.”

‘Strong as an ox’

In the mean time, Furnish says his famous husband experienced “a lot of anxiety” when watching scenes specific to his mortality.

“I don’t think it’s a conversation you want to have with your children. I don’t want to plant that seed in their mind,” Furnish says of the “Hold Me Closer” singer. “Elton’s been through a lot, but he’s also as strong as an ox. He rarely cancels shows. He’s a strong man, and he’s a healer. He’ll probably outlive me. He’s just so tough.”

Furnish also says that after 30 years together, the couple is only now “at this moment that we’ve only ever dreamed of.”

But as per reports, the “Rocket Man” singer is facing a major health crisis and is desperate to keep his fragility a secret.

In fact, an insider says the custom-made purple cart that John used to cruise down the red carpet at TIFF “was to hide” his “reliance on a wheelchair.”

“Elton refuses to be seen as weak. He’s so determined to maintain his larger-than-life image, but the truth is he can hardly move without help.” The tipster continues, “He doesn’t know where he’s going half the time.

“That’s why the golf cart makes sense, it’s a way to hide the truth from the cameras. Elton’s focus now is all about cementing his legacy. He wants to control the narrative of his life as an artist, husband and father, before someone else does it for him!”
