Elton John on Rush crush

The reason Elton John performed for ultra-conservative Rush Limbaugh's wedding has finally been revealed. No, it wasn't for the $1 million. Elton did it for love.

David Furnish, Elton's partner, said the singer did it because, “Life is about building bridges, not walls.”

Furnish explained that the initial invite was a total surprise, but after much thinking Elton decided it would be a great opportunity to extend an 'olive branch' to Limbaugh, and found the newlywed couple “incredibly gracious and very welcoming and very sweet and very appreciative.”

There was even an invite for the gay men to join the Limbaughs for dinner sometime. Ahhhhhh.
