Elton John's Partner David Furnish Backs Down In Madonna Dispute

David Furnish, civil partner of pop singer-songwriter Elton John, has come forward to press to take the heat out of an apparent argument he had with superstar singer Madonna.

Furnish got caught up in a dispute with the ‘Like a Virgin’ star after she picked up a gong for ‘Best Original Song’ at the Golden Globes earlier in the month – an award his partner Elton was also nominated for. Madge won the accolade for her track ‘Masterpiece’, which is taken from ‘W.E’, a film she directed herself, whilst Elton was nominated for ‘Hello, Hello’, which was taken from animated film ‘Gnomeo and Juliet’.

Furnish originally claimed that Madonna’s win was a ‘fluke’, saying: “When this happens you have to question the integrity of the awards. Did Madonna get the Golden Globe because she attended the awards and agreed to be a presenter?”

The argument since gained publicity, prompting Furnish to come forward and downplay his comments, admitting that his ‘emotional juices’ were running wild.

“My comments regarding The Golden Globes have been blown way out of proportion. My passion for our film Gnomeo and Juliet and belief in Elton's song really got my emotional juices going. But I must say for the record that I do believe Madonna is a great artist, and that Elton and I wish her all the best for next week's premiere of the film WE.”
