Elton John has faced significant mental and physical health challenges since 1975. Despite these obstacles, the iconic musician remains deeply committed to the well-being and future of his two sons. His devotion to family is so profound that he has chosen the words for his gravestone to reflect his love for them.
Elton’s Family and Fears of Aging
In an exclusive interview in October 2024 about his new documentary, Elton John: Never Too Late, the legendary artist opened up about his personal struggles and hopes. Now 77 years old, Elton is a husband and father to two sons, Zachary, 13, and Elijah, 11, whom he shares with his husband, David Furnish.
He spoke about the concerns his children have about his age, saying, “They worry as they know how old I am. Not so much David but me. They love their Daddy, so they want me to be around forever.”

While acknowledging the uncertainty of life, Elton candidly admitted, “I don’t know how much time I have left,” but he expressed a heartfelt desire for the future: “I want to see them have children, get married. But I don’t think I am going to be around for that. Who knows? You never know.”
Elton cherishes every moment with his family, describing their time together as “so wonderful and so precious.”
A History of Health Struggles
At the premiere of his documentary, Elton humorously reflected on his extensive medical history, listing the many surgeries and treatments he has undergone: “I don’t have tonsils, adenoids, or an appendix. I don’t have a prostate. I don’t have a right hip or a left knee or a right knee. In fact, the only thing left to me is my left hip. But I’m still here.”
