Elton John becomes an Egot after winning an Emmy award


The 76-year-old singer won his first Emmy award, making him the 19th person to win an Emmy, an Oscar, a Tony and a Grammy – known as Egot status

Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium won best variety special live at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Monday night, but the 76-year-old British singer-songwriter could not pick up the honour due to having a knee operation. “We didn’t know it would be historic because it was going to win a man, who has created the soundtrack to our lives, he’s done so much great for society, who is all of our hero. John is the 19th person to do so, joining the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Mel Brooks and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
