We’re always looking at it,” he revealed. “I haven’t found anything yet that really covers… I think if we wanted to do it, we would want to do it in a way that was really innovative and really exciting and different.“We’re open to any great ideas and it’s a wonderful catalogue,” he added.Elsewhere on the night, Furnish also shared an insight into his partner’s health ahead of him going into surgery.The procedure is set to be a knee operation and, according to his partner, should leave the ‘Rocketman’ singer feeling like “a new man”.“He’s doing amazing,” he told the outlet during the viewing party.
