David told the publication on the red carpet: ‘We wear Versace because Donatella makes beautiful clothes that make you feel good.’
Alessandro – who was known for creating glittering ensembles – left Gucci in 2022 after seven years in the top job amid claims of a rift between himself and then-CEO Marco Bizzarri over the brand’s future direction.
Sir Elton was reportedly left ‘devastated’ following his friend’s departure and according to The mirror has said: ‘He is my dear friend and inspiration. Whatever he does next, I will be there for him because I love and adore him.’
The list superstar has a wardrobe full of Gucci pieces, with the star regularly choosing colorful tracksuits and casual wear from the brand for her summer outings.
And now that the star has retired from touring, he’ll no doubt be digging out the designer sportswear for family outings with David and their two sons.
Apart from enjoying more time with his loved ones, the star has plenty to keep him busy as he is reportedly in talks to create a musical based on his stellar catalog of classic hits.
The Rocket Man hitmaker, who played his final shows last summer, is eyeing his own stage show which will include hits such as Your song, Candle In The Wind and Tiny Dancer, The sun has reported.
When the publication spoke with her husband David on 32nd Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscars viewing party on Sunday, he revealed that the couple is always thinking about it.
David said: ‘A catalog musical, we always look at it. I haven’t found anything yet that really covers… I think if we were going to do it, we wanted to do it in a way that was really innovative and really exciting and different.
‘We are open to all good ideas and it is a wonderful catalogue. But at the moment, with the other two musicals, we’re quite busy as it is’.

Elton has a busy year ahead, with his Devil Wears Prada show set to launch in Plymouth in July, followed by his musical Tammy Faye, about TV actress Tammy Faye Bakker, heading to Broadway later this year.
Elton struggled to walk the red carpet at his own event after undergoing a knee replacement in January.
David gave an update on his health and revealed that Elton will undergo a replacement on the other knee in a few weeks so he will be ready for the summer.
He explained: ‘He’s doing great. He’ll have another knee done in a few weeks, and by the time summer rolls around, he’ll have two brand new flip-flops.
“I think you’ll see him dancing down the carpet next year.”
