We’re Glad They’re Still Here: Celebs Who Survived Suicide Attempts

Elton John

British pop star Elton John wasn’t always an openly proud gay man. There was a time in Sir John’s young life where he struggled to keep his sexuality a secret. Upset over a lost lover, the “Rocket Man” singer tried to end his life by sticking his head inside of a gas oven. Luckily a friend caught him in the act before anything serious happened. Before he was comfortable living out loud and proud, the rock star was previously married to his secretary. When that ended in divorce, Sir John married another woman, which also didn’t work out. The 66-year-old singer is now in a civil partnership with long-term lover David Furnish. The happy couple has two sons.
