Elton John shares what he hopes his legacy will be

Elton John is sharing what he hopes his legacy will be — aside from his iconic music career.

During a recent interview on “Good Morning America,” the legendary singer Elton John, aged 77, expressed that his music is a reflection of who he is. He emphasized that his greatest legacy is being a wonderful husband and an exceptional father.

Elton John went on to describe his music career as phenomenal, groundbreaking, and fantastic. However, he stressed that above all, the utmost priority in his life is ensuring the happiness and well-being of his children, providing them with a beautiful life and being a good parent to them.

John shares sons Zachary, 13, and Elijah, 11, with longtime husband David Furnish.

On the final United States leg of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium in November 2022, Elton John was joined on stage by his children. His partner, Furnish, mentioned that a photograph capturing this heartwarming moment adorns a special place in their family kitchen.

“Elton wanted the world to really see and feel why he made the decision to stop touring,” Furnish reflected.

As for if John’s kids know just how big of a deal their dad is, Furnish — who co-directed “Elton John: Never Too Late,” the new documentary on the Grammy-winning singer — admitted “they do and they don’t.”

“I think one of the things that Elton’s always done, he does a show, comes home, he doesn’t talk a lot about what he does, he doesn’t play his music all the time in the house,” Furnish explained. “He’s daddy.”

“Elton John: Never Too Late” streams Dec. 13 on Disney+.
