Elton John made a striking appearance at the glamorous opening of his highly anticipated Broadway musical this week, showcasing a rejuvenated and fit physique.
The 77-year-old music legend graced the star-studded debut of Tammy Faye in the heart of New York City on Thursday, Nov. 14. He turned heads in a stylish pink suit artfully layered over a classic black top, radiating confidence and elegance. The iconic “I’m Still Standing” singer complemented his look with a tasteful pearl necklace, trendy pink sneakers, and chic dark-rimmed glasses that highlighted his signature style.
Elton was joined by his longtime partner, David Furnish, 62, as they celebrated this exciting milestone together. Following the performance, John received a standing ovation and thunderous applause as he took to the stage, a testament to his enduring appeal and the support of his adoring fans, according to the Daily Mail.
The star’s notable weight loss journey comes alongside his recent commitment to health, including a significant dietary shift where he has completely eliminated sugar is helping him manage his blood sugar levels more effectively.
John, who faced a type 2 diabetes diagnosis in the early 2000s, discussed his lifestyle changes candidly on the Ruthie’s Table 4 podcast, revealing how challenging it has been to resist the temptation of his former favorite desserts.
“As long as you’re sensible about it, it doesn’t shoot your blood sugar up. But what I crave is chocolate and ice cream; I can’t have any ice cream,” he confessed, shedding light on the sacrifices he’s made for his health.
John humorously admitted that if given the chance to indulge in his last meal, it would exclusively consist of sugary delights. “I like all sorts of things that aren’t good for me,” John revealed. “Fried chicken, donuts. If I had a death row meal, it wouldn’t contain anything except sweets, because I can’t eat them now. So, I’d have ice cream, donuts, apple pie, rhubarb crumble, blah blah blah.”
