Could easily drag (pun not intended) it for 5 years like Aerosmith did.

5.5 years in the end, but close!

No great fan but a mate recommended I read his autobiography and I'm glad I did. His mum comes in for some scathing treatment there! It's also dripping delicious gossip and inside tracks on otherwise misunderstood stories. A particular corker concerning a famous photograph of Princess Diana and David Furnish consoling a distraught Elton John at Gianni Versace's funeral. The press presented this as a tender moment when Diana wrapped an arm round him. According to the autobiography she was reaching for a mint David Furnish was passing behind Elton John and far from consoling him she actually said "I could murder a Polo." Particularly pointed when you consider how Versace met his end!

The eyesight goes first and then......    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3rdeq0j8q9o

I've heard the documentary is quite good though. As for his eyesight he should eventually be fine unless there's more than what he's saying going on.

He definitely seems to be ill, and I feel for him.  I know how it can be to be chronically ill, and how everyday can be a struggle especially when you have kids you are trying to raise and give them a good childhood and a good foundation for life. I do not however think I am going to be putting him in my Shadow list this coming year.  There are others that are in line so to speak that I am hoping to be putting in my list.  Might consider him an option for other pools though.

Elton John, Joni Mitchell, Chappell Roan and other artists singing backstage:

Joni Mitchell is fine, seems better than a year ago. Elton will be dead before her. I do wonder if he reaches 80. (I wondered that about Pelé too, but was off by 3 years)

Don’t think Elton will die before her. Really surprise and happy that Joni looks fine though, she may reach 85 ?

Elton John and Rod Stewart are two A-list  singers who I definitely don't see making old bones.

What are you talking about?

Rod Stewart is 80 in January. Elton John is 78 in March.

Life expectancy for a man in the UK is... 78. They have made old bones.

Elton is 77 and Rod is 79, does that not count as old?
