Aug. 2, 2024 – The legendary British singer-songwriter has taken to Instagram to share a photo of his coin – a well known token given to members of AA (alcoholics anonymous) and NA (narcotics anonymous) – which bore the roman numerals XXXIV to mark 34 years.
It came with the caption: “34 years clean and sober.
The Rocket Man singer was congratulated by many in the comments section, with musician Matt Sorum writing: “Bravo Elton …your greatest accomplishment”.
Former EastEnders star Kacey Ainsworth added: “I do believe you were with my dad during his journey to stay sober which he did for 17 years. I had a dad who was present – other than my dna it was the greatest gift he ever gave us. 1 day at a time xx”.
Elton’s sobriety might be up there on the list of things he’s most proud of, but this year also saw him achieve something pretty special; EGOT status.
The legendary piano man won an award at this year’s Emmys for his Disney+ concert programme Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium in the Outstanding Variety Special (live) category.
