Despite being immortalized in the industry, the “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” singer is aware of his mortality and shares his son’s fears over his imminent death.
In the film John says of Zachary, 13, and Elijah, 11: “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 next explains that Zachary and Elijah “love their daddy, so they want me to be around forever, [and] I would love to be around forever.”
But living in a reality where death is inevitable, the singer-songwriter shares that he knows he’ll likely miss several of his son’s major milestones.
“I want to see them have children and get married. I don’t think I’m going to be around for that. Who knows? You never know.” the “Nikita” singer adds, “So that’s why I want to use the best time, the best of my time, while I’m around…Time together is so wonderful and so precious.”
