Recent news stories say that Elton John can’t say “I’m Still Standing” anymore.
John will live forever after almost 60 years of amazing work. But sources say the 77-year-old superstar is having a hard time with his falling health. They say he “can hardly move without help,” but he’s “determined to maintain his larger-than-life image.”
Read on to find out how John is hiding the fact that his health is getting worse!
Elton John has had several close calls with death over the years. In 2013, he almost died from appendicitis.
“I was like a time bomb.” “I guess I could have died at any time,” John, who is one of many famous people who have the EGOT, said.
In 2017, he had problems that could have killed him after treatment for prostate cancer. He said, “I didn’t really know how close to death I was.” The 72-year-old five-time Grammy winner went on, “I was sick because I kept saying, ‘Please let me get better.’” “I need to see my kids.”
And most recently, the “Nikita” singer said he’s getting better after losing some sight.
John and his 61-year-old husband David Furnish drove down the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) for the opening of Elton John: Never Too Late on September 6. It was John’s first public appearance since he was left with limited vision.
The movie follows John’s work over many years, from his famous show at Madison Square Garden in 1974 to his last concert at Dodger Stadium in 2022. It also shows private times he spent with Furnish, whom he married in 2014 after meeting in 1993. Zachary, 13, and Elijah, 11, are their boys, who were born through a surrogate.
Dealing with death
The “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” singer is immortalized in the business, but he is aware of his own fate and shares his son’s fears that he is going to die soon.
In the movie, John talks about Zachary and Elijah and says, “They think about my death.” They are afraid that I will die.
Next, John says about Furnish, who helps raise the boys, “Not so much David, but me.”
The “Sad Songs” singer then says, “Their boys love their dad, so they want me to be here forever, and I would love to be here forever.” Aww.
“As strong as an ox”
Furnish, meanwhile, says that watching scenes about his own death caused his famous husband “a lot of anxiety.”
It’s not something I think you should talk about with your kids. Furniture says of the “Hold Me Closer” singer, “I don’t want to plant that seed in their mind.” “Elton has been through a lot, but he’s strong as an ox.” Not often does he cancel shows. He’s strong and can heal people. He’ll likely live longer than me. “He’s really tough.”
This is “the moment that we’ve only ever dreamed of” after 30 years of being together, Furnish says.
However, it has been said that the “Rocket Man” singer is having a serious health problem and is doing everything he can to hide how weak he is.
A source close to the family says that John’s custom-made purple cart that he rode down the TIFF red carpet “was to hide” the fact that he “used a wheelchair.”
“Elton doesn’t want to be seen as weak.” He really wants to keep up his unrealistic image, but the truth is that he needs help moving around.”He doesn’t know where he’s going half the time,” the source says.
“The golf cart makes sense because it’s a way to keep the truth from the cameras.” Now, Elton is only thinking about making sure his influence lasts. As an artist, husband, and father, he wants to write the story of his life before someone else does it for him!
From December 13, 2024, Elton John: Never Too Late will be available to watch on Disney+.
