Sir Elton John has denied claims passages of his bestselling memoir breached an agreement with his ex-wife not to talk about their marriage, court documents in a £3 million privacy case against the singer show. Ms Blauel is now suing Sir Elton over “repeated and flagrant” breaches of the agreement in his 2019 memoir Me and in the biopic Rocketman, also released in 2019. Sir Elton’s legal team said that Ms Blauel’s claim does not argue it was a breach of the privacy agreement for Sir Elton to come out as gay. Her legal team claim the alleged breaches were obvious and that Sir Elton knew they would negatively impact her “jealously guarded” privacy. Sir Elton’s legal team said the singer was unaware of any mental health issues she had.
