"Years back I had a relationship, and I had absolutely no idea in the world he was going to do this... he threw himself under a truck," the Telegraph quoted Sir Elton, as saying.
He added: "There was so much grief."urnish said: "He was so tortured by the conflicting views between his sexuality and his strong religious beliefs that he chose to take his own life."
