The couple has planned a fall 2003 wedding.

[T]he ’80s were years of personal upheaval for John. In 1984 he surprised many by marrying studio engineer Renate Blauel. While the marriage lasted four years, John later maintained that he had realized that he was gay before he married. In 1986 he lost his voice while touring Australia and shortly thereafter underwent throat surgery. John continued recording prolifically, but years of cocaine and alcohol abuse, initiated in earnest around the time of Rock of the Westies’ 1975 release, were beginning to take their toll. In 1988 he performed five sold-out shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden, his final concert - his 26th - breaking the Grateful Dead’s career record of 25 sold-out Garden appearances.
