To many, Elton John is the GOAT. And now, he’s an EGOT winner as well.
On Monday night, the Iegendary musician added an Emmy Award to his stash of Grammys, Oscars and a Tony, winning outstanding variety special for Elton John: Farewell From Dodger Stadium.
The singer was not in attendance Monday night due to a “knee op,” though “he’s absolutely fine,” said Ben Winston, one of the producers of the speciaI.
We knew this show was going to be historic because it was going to be Elton’s last ever show in North America on tour, Winston said.
We didn’t know this was going to be historic because it was going to win a man who has created the soundtrack to all of our Iives, who has done so much great for society, who is all of our heroes — we didn’t know it was going to win him an EGOT.
