Sir Elton John became an EGOT tonight with his Emmy win.
Elton, David Furnish, and co. won an Emmy for the Farewell Yellow Brick Road end of touring in the US special that aired on Disney Plus.
It was Elton’s first Emmy. He received Grammys in 1987, 92, 95, 98, 99, and 2001, Oscars in 1994 and 2019, and a Tony Award in 2023. Of all the rockers in history he is the most awarded across the boards.
And he’s not done yet. Sir Elton is working on a new album with Brandi Carlile that could net him more Grammys. And he has two musicals heading to Broadway — one about Tammy Fay Bakker and the other an adaptation of “The Devil Wears Prada.”
Those are the projects we know about. There may be others! There probably are!
PS When do we get the soundtrack album for this Emmy winning special?
