Emmy Awards 2024: Elton John wins historic EGOT
Elton John, with an Emmy for outstanding variety special for his Dodger Stadium farewell show, earned EGOT status as one of a very few people to have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.
“Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium” aired on Disney+ as he played his final North American concert ever – at least that’s what he says – on Nov. 20, 2022.

John, who was not at the Emmys on Sunday, becomes the 19th person to earn a competitive EGOT – one in which none of the awards were honorary.
John earlier won six Grammys including a lifetime achievement award. He’s won two Oscars for best original song for his work on “The Lion King” and “Rocketman.” And his Tony Award came with the score for “Aida.”
