Secret of personal lifeNow - since then,as a star, in an extravagant wedding ceremony in 2005, he registered his relationship with his husband David Furnish. However, the 62-year-old musician still regrets that he experienced all the delights of "adult" life too late. John had his first relationship only at the age of 23. "It was a big mistake on my part that I refused sex for so long. I liked being with other men, and I felt free when I realized who I really was. Another mistake was love, which I trusted too quickly. My advice to young people: do not chase after love. It will find you when you least expect it. And while it is not there, have fun, have safe sex, enjoy your sexuality. Be proud of yourself!" says the singer. John shared his regrets about his late personal life in a letter to himself. One of the major American editors, Joseph Galliano, asked celebrities to write a letter to their 16-year-old selves. Here is an excerpt from Elton John's letter: "There have been many mistakes in life. Stay away from drugs - it's a waste of time. Stand up for your rights, you'll need them. Love, be strong and friendly."
