The secret key to how Elton John survived years of health struggles

John developed pneumonia in 2020 and in 1999 a stent was placed to widen the arteries to his heart. He also underwent hip and two knee replacements, and an undiagnosed appendicitis that nearly killed him in 2013.

He revealed earlier this year: “I don’t have tonsils, tonsils or an appendix. I don’t have a prostate. I don’t have a right hip, a left knee or a right knee. In fact, the only thing left of me is my left hip. But I’m still here .’

Through it all, John has received a lot of support from his husband, David Furnish, their two sons: Zachary, 13, and Elijah, 11, and supporters around the world, who have helped the songwriter stay hopeful during his health struggles. .
