Elton John's $7.2million eccentric mansion offers private retreat following health woes

Sir Elton John has spent time recovering at home after a nasty fall caused him to have hip replacement surgery. The singer's main home is a handy one-storey mansion in Los Angeles with his husband David Furnish and their sons Zachary and Elijah.

Elton and David purchased the property in 2012 for a cool $7.2million (£5.3million), according to Velvet Ropes, and it boasts a luxurious swimming pool and eccentric interiors, including neon artwork and animal print accessories.

The couple also recently invested $8.5 million in the neighbouring property to add to their property portfolio in Atlanta, London, Windsor and Nice. In an interview with The Telegraph, Elton spoke out about his homes: "It's a matter of creature comforts. It's nice to stay in your own place, and you just accumulate them."

The dining room

The open-plan dining area boasts wooden floors and white round chairs where Elton was seen sitting next to the black table ahead of the iHeart Living Room Concert for America. A large mirror covered one wall in the background next to the white cupboards, while a statement light fixture hung from the ceiling.

The living room

Given Elton and David's reputation as art collectors, the house is a showcase of bold prints, including brightly-coloured designs seen in their living room. The room features white walls and wooden floors.

The garden

Outside, the garden overlooks Los Angeles, and features a large swimming pool with concrete framing and matching concrete tables next to large white sofas on the terrace.

Elton and David have their very own cinema room, with a screen spanning the height of one wall. It looks as though the room also has a pool table for entertaining guests and the children.
