Legendary singer Elton John (77) recently spoke up about his health issues during a screening of his new documentary.
He delivered a very emotional speech after the premiere of Elton John: Never Too Late alongside his husband, David Furnish.
He revealed to the audience that he has had several parts of his body removed after some health problems throughout the years.
“To be honest with you, there’s not much of me left,” he said.
“I don’t have tonsils, adenoids or an appendix. I don’t have a prostate,” he added.
“I don’t have a right hip or a left knee or a right knee.”
He continued: “In fact, the only thing left to me is my left hip. But I’m still here.”
“I can’t thank you enough, you’re the people that made me.”
“I want to thank David, Zachary, and Elijah for making me the happiest man in the world,” he continued, referencing his husband and the two sons they share together.
“I found complete and utter happiness and bliss when I met David and when I had my children, our children,” he added.
“And it satisfied me so much. I’ve never felt happiness like I have now.”
“As you know, I decided to stop touring because I’m 77 years of age, I’ve done all there is to do, to play. I’ve succeeded. I’ve been there and I’ve done it.”
The happy couple welcomed their two sons via the same surrogate, Zachary in 2010 and then Elijah in 2013.
He continued, “I’ve still got to make room because I’m still going to have music in my life.”
“But the most important things in my life are David, Zachary and Elijah, and my family and my friends. I found utopia and I’m so thrilled.”
The documentary will be available on December 13th on Disney+.
It will have a short theatrical release in the US and UK from November 15th.
