20 celebrities you didn’t know attempted to Kill themselves – This will shock you!

19. Elton John

Musical icon Elton John is renowned around the world as being one of the greatest rock pianists and eccentric performers of all time, but he also spent much of that career hiding his true sexual orientation. It’s hard to imagine that it’s only been recently considered acceptable for people to be openly gay, but through the 60s, 70s, and 80s, it was deemed to be something people kept to themselves. When he attempted to kill himself by putting his head in a gas stove, he was engaged to Linda Woodrow. It’s safe to assume he didn’t want to live a lie.
