Elton John shares what he hopes his legacy will be

Elton John shares what he hopes his legacy will be – beyond his legendary music career.

“My music speaks for itself,” 77-year-old “Rocket Man” singer Robin Roberts, co-host of “Good Morning America,” told Even Better Dad in a new interview that aired Dec. 11.

“The music, the career is fantastic. It was overwhelming and groundbreaking,” he continued. “But the most important thing in my life is making sure my children are happy, that they have a wonderful life and that I am good to them. Nothing else matters.”

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

They all joined him on stage at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles in November 2022 for the final U.S. stop of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour, and Furnish said a photo of that “beautiful moment” hangs in the family’s kitchen at home.

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

As for whether John’s children know what a big deal their father is, Furnish – co-director of “Elton John: Never Too Late,” the new documentary about the Grammy-winning singer – admitted: “They know and they don’t .” ‘T.”

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