That’s Sir Elton John, EGOT, thank you very much.
After winning an Emmy award for his “Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium” streaming special, the self-proclaimed bitch - who’s stone-cold sober as a matter of fact - became just the 19th person to win at least one Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award.
“Thank you to all the fans, friends and collaborators who have supported me throughout the years,” John, who missed the Jan. 15 ceremony as he recovers from knee surgery, said in a statement.
“Honored to have joined the hallowed ranks of EGOT winners; here’s to the joy of music and the magic it brings to our lives.”
Previous EGOT club members include Richard Rodgers, Marvin Hamlisch, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, John Legend and Jennifer Hudson.
