Elton John celebrates best year of his career in Christmas post dedicated to himself


Elton John celebrated Christmas with a lengthy Instagram video discussing what a fantastic year 2019 has been to him, and thanking his fans for their support.

He has performed a Farewell tour, had a biopic written about his life, and won a prestigious award.

And if you didn’t know about it all – he is here to fill you in.

In his trademark tracksuit and glasses, Elton, 72, beams in the video while wearing an adorable Santa hat.

“Merry Christmas everybody, and thank you for making 2019 probably the most successful year of my career”, he said.

“Wow, at 72 years of age, I’m blown away.

Elton chatted about his career highlights of the year

“First of all you have all supported the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour so well it is breaking box office records everywhere, thank you.

“Rocketman came out in the spring and got incredible reviews, and did incredibly well, Thank you.

“Me, my autobiography came out in the autumn and did incredibly well, thank you.


“And if that wasn’t enough to make you question your own success of 2019, I was named in Billboard the number one male artist of all time, which I cannot believe, thank you Billboard for that. Wow.

“And in the middle of the year I got the Legion d’Honneur in Paris from President Macron, which is the highest honour you can get artistically in France, I was blown away.

“Thank you President Macron, and the French people.

“But to you guys who are my fans, you’ve been amazing all year.

“You have come to the show you have dressed up, you’ve come along and had a great time and you’ve made me feel so happy every time I come on stage.

“I’m having a little break right now over Christmas, hence the hat, but I’m off to the Golden Globes on the 5 January, where we’re nominated for three awards for Rocketman, so keep your fingers very tightly crossed and hope that we can come away with at least one award.
