John has had a lot to celebrate in recent months. At the start of the year, he became one of the few celebrities to reach EGOT status — or having earned an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.

He solidified the status by winning his first-ever Emmy for outstanding live variety special for Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium on Disney+.

At the time, the musician shared how thrilled he was about the accomplishment by posting a statement on Instagram. "We won an Emmy and I am on cloud nine!! Receiving this recognition is a testament to the passion and dedication of everyone involved, and I am so deeply grateful," John shared in a lengthy caption.

After thanking those involved with his Disney+ special, he added, "Honoured to have joined the hallowed ranks of EGOT winners, here’s to the joy of music and the magic it brings to our lives!"

Just last week, the "Crocodile Rock" singer also received a coveted titled from the Library of Congress when he and his longtime songwriting partner, Bernie Taupin, were awarded the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. In receiving the title, which recognizes their contributions to popular music, the two were honored with a tribute concert featuring performances from Joni Mitchell, Maren Morris, Metallica, Annie Lennox and Brandi Carlile.
