Elton John Becomes an EGOT With 2023 Emmy Awards Win
Singer becomes the 19th person to achieve EGOT status
Elton John is officially an EGOT winner.
The “I’m Still Standing” singer joined the elite EGOT club on Monday night after he was awarded for his Disney+ show Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium at the 2023 Emmy Awards. An EGOT is an artist who has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and a Tony Award in their career. John was not present to accept the award.
The addition of the trophy rounded out the performer’s EGOT punch card, making him the 19th person to achieve the feat and only the third pop star to win, behind John Legend and Jennifer Hudson.
John joins other recent EGOT winners Viola Davis, Alan Menken, Whoopi Goldberg, Audrey Hepburn, Rita Moreno, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and more, who have all collected the coveted four awards over the course of their careers.
John has two Oscars, both in the Best Original Song category: “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” from The Lion King in 1994 and “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” from Rocketman in 2019. Of course, the singer has been nominated for a slew of Grammy awards and has taken home five throughout the course of his decades-long career. In 2000, he won a Tony Award for Best Original Score for the show Aida.
