Wearing a green blazer and purple tie, the 78-year-old musician who has a rocky relationship with British tabloids appeared furious while giving evidence. He and his husband David Furnish — who gave evidence yesterday — accuse the UK publisher of using unlawful means to gather information used in 10 articles between 2000 and 2015. Hurley, a friend of the couple, and Prince Harry both gave evidence in the first two weeks of the trial.The case “contains the most horrendous things in the world that you can ever suffer from a privacy point of view,” John told the trial, which is in its third week and expected to last until March. John alleged that “all three” of the family’s landlines “were hacked, including the junction box at the end of the road”. “I was incensed,” John told the court, adding that he has “never been afraid of fighting my corner... with the British press.” ANL has countered that evidence will prove it sourced its stories legitimately and that claims around the use of private investigators were “clutching at straws in the wind”.articles mentioned in the case, a “certain amount of the information... had already been put into the public domain”. In his written witness statement, John said: “I have devoted my life to my music but this does not mean deeply personal things which I have a right to deal with in private are fair game. “It has been truly sickening for David and me to see the disclosure in our case, with Zachary as a target when he was just born, with David and me as targets, with me as a target when I was sick and unwell,” he said. — AFP
