The famous musician Elton John (77) is brutally honest about his life and death in the new documentary Never Too Late. He says, “I don’t know how much time I have left.” He often thinks about his own death and has had a lot of health problems lately.
Elton had to have surgery on both knees and his right hip after he fell, so his final tour in 2021 had to be pushed back. In a scene from the documentary, Elton is in his dressing room during his last tour and looks at his things. He asks himself, “What will happen to this when I’m done?” Right now is the last moment of my life. Mirror said, “I don’t know how much time I have left.”
“When you get to be my age, you think about these things more,” he says. You think about dying and living. “Now I just want to be where I want to be,” you think. The music great, who is now 77 years old, thinks about his long career and health problems.
Elton John has a lot of fans all over the world, including here in the United States. He recently went to the New York opening of Never Too Late. “To be honest with you, there’s not much left of me,” he said in a funny way. Both of my tonsils and appendix are gone. I don’t have my prostate. I’m missing both knees and my right hip. My left hip is pretty much all I have left. I’m still here, though, and I want to thank you so much for making me.
Elton has two sons with his wife David Furnish. He has said that he wants to live long enough to see his boys grow up, get married, and have kids of their own. He’s ready to make the most of his time with them even though he knows it might not happen.
The documentary also talks about his hard life. Elton said that his father never gave him a hug. These bad experiences as a child led him to become addicted to drugs and booze, which he talked about in 2015 when he visited Oxford University students. His life changed a lot when he met David and became a father. Since then, he has put his family ahead of his work.
This honest look at life, death, and being a dad adds another layer to the already famous singer. He has sold over 300 million albums and is still one of the most respected people in the music business.
