‘Candle in the Wind’ singer Elton John actually has a candle room!

The singer, who lives in a lavish mansion in the US with his husband David Furnish, adores the mood lightings so much he has an entire cupboard filled with them for him to use whenever he wants.

“My favourite part was his candle room… it was like a big cupboard thing and he had candles in every room, and it smelled amazing. So clean,” said McFly singer Danny Jones, who recently visited the music legend’s house with his bandmates.

While he clearly loves candles, Elton also collects vases, and has so many there is hardly a clear surface in his entire home.

“His place is full of art, it’s like a museum. Vases! He collects vases and there’s not enough room on the table to put your drink down,” said McFly.

Danny’s bandmate Dougie Poynter had a great time looking around the lavish home, but was terrified he’d end up breaking something.

“He had a statue that was from 200 BC or something, you know, the really old Greek-style things? The people from ‘The Lion King’ bought one to say thank you for all the songs. I could quite easily just have knocked it over.” said Poynter.
