Elton John became a member of the exclusive EGOT club yesterday at the Emmys. However, he wasn’t there to accept his award.
After the show was over, the singer explained why he wasn’t there. The Rocketman wrote: “We won an Emmy and I am on cloud nine!! Receiving this recognition is a testament to the passion and dedication of everyone involved, and I am so deeply grateful.
“Whilst I am gutted that I couldn’t be there to accept this award in person– I recently underwent a knee operation, a gentle reminder, perhaps, of a lifetime spent jumping off pianos (see pic 2!) – my heartfelt thanks go out to the @televisionacad and all those who took the time to vote. This award reflects the collective effort and creativity of an amazing team…”
Then Sir Elton addressed his new title, “Honoured to have joined the hallowed ranks of EGOT winners, here’s to the joy of music and the magic it brings to our lives!”
Congrats to Elton. With all that he has contributed to entertainment over the decades, he has definitely earned this achievement.
