Let’s talk about Elton John, the legendary musician who’s been lighting up stages for decades. Recently, Elton has taken a bold step toward a healthier lifestyle, much to the relief of his loved ones who were genuinely concerned about his well-being. This isn’t just a quick fix; this is a lifestyle change that Elton is truly committed to, and it’s making a noticeable difference.
Insiders close to the singer are raving about how dedicated Elton is this time around. “He’s really sticking to it,” an insider exclusively told Closer. “He’s following a sensible diet that could potentially help manage his type 2 diabetes, and who knows? Maybe even reverse it. It’s certainly possible.” Elton’s new eating plan focuses on fiber-rich foods, non-starchy vegetables, fresh fruits, and healthy grains. He’s also paying close attention to portion sizes, which used to be his biggest challenge. Plus, he’s cutting back on salt and avoiding added sugars altogether. This is a man on a mission to get healthy.
Elton was first diagnosed with type 2 diabetes way back in the early 2000s. Now, he’s making up for lost time by taking charge of his health. Of course, giving up desserts hasn’t been easy for him, but he’s found clever ways to satisfy his sweet tooth. “He misses the dessert, sure, but when that sweet craving hits, he can have a small glass of 100 percent fruit juice,” the source adds. And guess what? It’s working. Elton says he feels more energetic than he has in years. For someone who’s battled numerous health issues, including knee replacements, a hip replacement, and injuries from falling at home, this renewed focus on health is nothing short of inspiring.

Elton’s Journey: Reflecting on the Past
Elton, now 77 years old, has been candid about his health struggles over the years. From surgeries to injuries, he’s faced it all with grace and resilience. Last October, the iconic “Rocket Man” singer, who shares sons Zachary and Elijah with husband David Furnish, took the stage at the New York Film Festival premiere of Elton John: Never Too Late. It was a moment of reflection for Elton as he looked back on the highs and lows of his life.
“To be honest with you, there’s not much of me left,” Elton said during his speech. “I don’t have tonsils, adenoids, or an appendix. I don’t even have a prostate. And guess what? I don’t have a right hip, a left knee, or a right knee either. In fact, the only thing left to me is my left hip.” Despite all these challenges, Elton remains optimistic. “But I’m still here. And I can’t thank you [enough], you’re the people that made me. I want to thank David, Zachary, and Elijah for making me the happiest man in the world.”
Elton’s Health Challenges and Triumphs
Recently, Elton revealed another health issue he’s facing—problems with his eyesight. “I unfortunately lost my eyesight in my right eye in July because I had an infection in the South of France,” he shared during an interview with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America. “It’s been four months now since I’ve been able to see, and my left eye isn’t the greatest either.” Despite the setback, Elton remains hopeful. “So there’s hope and encouragement that it will be OK,” he added. While he admits feeling “kind of stuck at the moment,” Elton is taking proactive steps to explore treatments that might improve his vision.
Despite all the medical challenges, Elton continues to reflect on his incredible life and career with gratitude. “I’m just very lucky and very grateful,” he shared. Even amidst his health battles, Elton is determined to make changes where he can. Recently, he spoke about modifying his diet to better manage his diabetes. “I can have an apple, I can eat a bit of melon,” he said during a November 11 episode of the “Ruthie’s Table 4” podcast. “As long as you’re sensible about it, it doesn’t shoot your blood sugar up. But what I crave is chocolate and ice cream, and unfortunately, I can’t have any ice cream.”
A Legacy of Resilience
Elton John’s story is one of resilience, determination, and a relentless pursuit of happiness. Whether it’s through his music, his family, or his health journey, Elton continues to inspire millions around the world. As he looks forward to the future, one thing is certain—Elton John isn’t done making waves just yet.
