Elton John is due for knee surgery and drops 40 pounds after warnings about his health

By editorial board on March 20, 2024

The rock icon's husband said Elton is set for knee surgery in the coming weeks and that he'll be a new man after he's recovered.
Elton recently had a hip replacement.

 John dropped 40 pounds after those around him voiced concerns for his long-term health. Reportedly, John, who stands at 5’8″, reached a weight of over 200 pounds and he was warned to lose weight or risk health complications.

“He has reduced – but he STILL has massive abdominal obesity, which means he has a fatty liver that causes and intensifies diabetes,” said Dr. Mirkin.

“I’ve always had a weight issue and [body issues],” admitted John, “and I think it takes a long time for you to come to terms with that. I don’t think I ever will.” Living his life in front of the camera has given John an interesting relationship with his self-image.

"He's having another knee done in a couple of weeks and by the time the summer rolls around, he'll have two brand new spanking knees."

David, 61, even joked his 76-year-old husband, who played his final concert gigs in 2023, would be hitting the dancefloor again.

"I think you'll see him breakdancing down the carpet next year," he quipped.

He also mentioned the couple is open to the idea of pulling Elton's extensive music catalogue into a musical stage show.

"A catalogue musical, we are always looking at it," he revealed. "I haven't found anything yet that really covers… I think if we wanted to do it, we would want to do it in a way that was really innovative and really exciting and different."

But he added that Elton already has two musicals – The Devil Wears Prada and Tammy Faye – in production.

"We're open to any great ideas and it's a wonderful catalogue," David said. "But at the moment, with the two other musicals, we're quite busy as it is."
