Beloved music icon Sir Elton John recently opened up about a deeply personal message he wishes to have engraved on his gravestone.

This revelation follows the acclaimed singer’s poignant disclosure regarding his ongoing health challenges.

At 77 years old, Elton revealed a significant decline in his vision, saying he has lost sight in both eyes and alluded to his belief that his remaining time is limited.

Amidst these challenges, he took a moment to reflect on how he desires to be remembered, focusing on his cherished role as a father.

Elton shares two sons with his husband, film producer David Furnish. He has publicly expressed his wish to be honored as a ‘great dad,’ underscoring how profoundly his children have impacted his life.

Speaking at a recent People Magazine event in New York City, Elton conveyed his immense gratitude for the worldwide support and heartfelt love from his many fans.

The emotional strength of his words deeply moved the audience, bringing many to tears.

Elton reiterated these feelings during an appearance on Good Morning America with Robin Roberts, which aired later that evening.

‘My legacy is that I was a great husband and an even better father… The music, the career, and everything else were fantastic. It was just so fantastic and mind-blowing,’ he shared warmly.

In embracing his journey through life, Elton John continues to inspire with his enduring love for his family and his incredible contributions to music.
