**Elton John Shares Humorous Health Update at Documentary Premiere**

Legendary musician Elton John recently provided a lighthearted update on his health status during the New York Film Festival premiere of his forthcoming Disney+ documentary, "Elton John: Never Too Late." According to People magazine, John entertained the audience with a quip about his numerous medical procedures.

"To be honest with you, there's not much of me left," John joked during his speech. Listing his various surgeries, the singer noted, "I don't have tonsils, adenoids or an appendix. I don't have a prostate. I don't have a right hip or a left knee or a right knee." Despite the long list, he humorously concluded, "In fact, the only thing left to me is my left hip. But I'm still here. And I can't thank you [enough], you're the people that made me."

The singer's health discussion comes in the wake of several recent medical challenges. A prostate cancer survivor, John disclosed earlier this month that he was recovering from a severe eye infection, which had resulted in "limited vision in one eye." He made reference to this condition during a screening of the "Never Too Late" documentary at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2024.

Throughout his career, Elton John has been open about his health issues, and his charming and candid approach continues to endear him to fans. Despite the numerous surgeries and health challenges, Elton John remains grateful and dedicated to his supporters.
