ANSWER: Music

Renate Blauel


Renate Blauel is a German music engineer who was married to Elton John for four and a half years.

Already a sound engineer, she had engineered albums including Hysteria for the Human League and Croatia Records. Blauel was then a recording engineer on John's 1983 album Too Low For Zero.

John admitted that his bisexuality was a "compromise". They were married on Valentine's Day, 1984, in Sydney, Australia, after he had proposed to her four days earlier in a restaurant. Attendees included Olivia Newton-John. A second service was held for John's family members later in England. Blauel also worked as a recording engineer on John's 1984 album Breaking Hearts. The divorce became final on November 18, 1988.
