Popular British singer Elton John and his husband David Furnish have both given evidence in the ongoing s3x offense trial involving well-known American actor Kevin Spacey.
The musician and his producer partner both appeared separately in Southwark Crown Court via video link from a board room in Monaco and were both asked questions relating to one of Kevin Spacey’s accusers.
The accuser had claimed that Kevin Spacey grabbed him by the crotch when he was driving the actor to John and Furnish’s White Tie & Tiara Ball in 2004 or 2005.

According to The Associated Press, Furnish supported Spacey’s testimony by stating that he only ever attended the event, which raised funds for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, in 2001.
“It never happened,” Furnish stated. “It was understood that we were promoting a charity that involves the eradication of stigma around the disease and if a celebrity wanted to come they would be photographed and appear in OK (magazine).”
Furnish confirmed that he recognised the alleged victim and added, “He was a little bit cheeky, he always had a cheeky smile on his face. You could always engage in playful banter with him.”
