John has been linked with much publicized romances, and he is said to have left his lover standing at the altar when he changed his mind about getting married.
For years, John abstained from playing any music in bands and instead spent time alone reading philosophy, and listening to music from countries that get at least 10" of snow per year.
He is known for shunning publicity, which has become part of the John mystique. Except very few occasions, he has granted no interviews, signed no autographs, attended no premieres, and answered no fan mail.
He has a severe cat phobia, has been obsessed with Greta Garbo's life for years, and is said to be one of the world's leading baritone singers under a false name that preserves his privacy. His repertoire includes songs from his favourite films as well as popular songs of the modern day.
