After undergoing treatment for prostate cancer, Sir Elton John contracted an infection, and he recently stated that he was “24 hours from death.”
The musician, who is 75 years old and was diagnosed with cancer, decided against undergoing chemotherapy and instead underwent surgery because he did not want the ailment to be “hanging over” his family.
John described the operation he had in Los Angeles as a “perfect success” in his memoir, which is currently being published in installments in the Daily Mail. However, ten days after the procedure, he realized that something wasn’t quite right.

“After the operation, it was determined that I experienced an extremely uncommon complication.” After lying awake at night “wondering if I was going to die,” he was admitted to a hospital in London for a total of 11 days.
It helped him come to the conclusion that he should stop traveling so that he could devote more time to his family, which includes his husband, David Furnish, and their two sons, Zachary and Elijah.
“In the hospital, alone in the middle of the night, I’d prayed: please don’t let me die, please let me see my kids again, please give me a little longer,” he wrote. “Please don’t let me die, please let me see my kids again, please give me a little longer.”
“In a peculiar sense, it felt like the time I spent healing was the answer to my prayers: if you want more time, you need to learn to live like this; you need to slow down. If you want more time, you need to learn to live like this.
Elton John has defended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle against criticism regarding their use of private jets.

“It was as if I was shown another life, one that I realized I loved more than being on the road,” she said. Even though music was the most amazing thing in the world, Zachary’s speech about what had happened at Cubs or football practice sounded better than any music that could ever be created.
“At this point, there is absolutely no question in my mind that I will stop touring.”
John, who is currently on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, disclosed in his book that he had a falling out with Diana, Princess of Wales, after she reneged on an agreement to write the foreword to a book for his AIDS foundations. This information was revealed while John was on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
