Rumors are swirling that Elton John and his husband David Furnish may be on rocky ground. Word of the marital troubles comes from a source close to the couple, who tells the U.K.'s The Sun that their hectic lifestyles are starting to catch up with them.
According to the British tabloid, Furnish has become increasingly controlling over recent years.
"Elton is looking for a quiet life and has handed control of his life to David. But David is behaving like a control freak with little idea how to run Elton's financial or domestic affairs. He has fallen out with and fired some very experienced and loyal people and other domestic staff are suddenly being slapped with gagging orders so they can't talk about Elton or David," the source says.
"They have six houses all around the world. All those gardeners, chauffeurs, maids, cleaners. They are all gagged. Whenever you visit one of the houses you now have to put your phone in a basket when you go through the front door," the source adds.
