Spending the day with the next British superstar @lewiscapaldi
29 years ago today, I was a broken man. I finally summoned up the courage to say 3 words that would change my life: “I need help”. Thank-you to all the selfless people who have helped me on my journey through sobriety. I am eternally grateful.
Lunches don’t get any nicer than this. @animalrequiem @yaggerdang
I want to thank the incredible #ChrisMartin for performing at our @ejaf Midsummer Night’s Party in Antibes. He is the kindest and most gracious friend, along with being a fantastic musical force of nature. I love you Chris. @davidfurnish and I are eternally grateful for your support 😇😇 @coldplay
I’m bowled over with gratitude at the success of last night’s Elton John AIDS Foundation Midsummer Night’s Party. Thanks to the generosity of everyone who attended, we raised over $6 million in the fight against HIV/AIDS. A tremendous result. Thank-you to everyone who braved the heat and came to support us!! @ejaf
Holiday heaven 😇😇 @davidfurnish
I loved collaborating with Tim Rice on a new song for the latest film version of the @lionking. Check out ‘Never Too Late’ on the film’s soundtrack from @DisneyMusic and see the #TheLionKing in theatres today. https://disneymusic.co/NeverTooLate
Look who I bumped into last night.... @taron.egerton @rocketmanmovie
Incredible to think, David and I walked this same red carpet for the world premiere of the original Lion King 25 years ago - an epic film that changed my life forever. Disney have now reimagined that timeless classic with astonishing beauty and refreshed it for a whole new generation. It is magnificent. @lionking
Celebrating the big wrap for Season 5 of @schittscreek at last night’s show. Lovely people 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 📷: @bengibsonphoto
Happy #WorldPride! 🏳️🌈 It was so important that @rocketmanmovie told my story as a gay man and my journey to becoming a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. #Rocketman 🚀 is now playing in theatres everywhere.
Following my call to arms last week with President Macron, @theresamay has announced today the UK will join to the @GlobalFund replenishment with £1.4 billion! This substantial increase shows a commitment and example for all other nations to follow to #StepUpTheFight. Only together will we end AIDS. @ejaf
Dear President Putin, I was deeply upset when I read your recent interview in the Financial Times. I strongly disagree with your view that pursuing policies that embrace multicultural and sexual diversity are obsolete in our societies. I find duplicity in your comment that you want LGBT people to “be happy” and that “we have no problem in that”. Yet Russian distributors chose to heavily censor my film “Rocketman” by removing all references to my finding true happiness through my 25 year relationship with David and the raising of my two beautiful sons. This feels like hypocrisy to me. I am proud to live in a part of the world where our governments have evolved to recognise the universal human right to love whoever we want. And I’m truly grateful for the advancement in government policies that have allowed and legally supported my marriage to David. This has brought us both tremendous comfort and happiness. Respectfully, Elton John #LOVEISLOVE #WORLDPRIDE @EJAF
Yesterday I received the Légion d’honneur by President @emmanuelmacron for services to music and for my work with @ejaf. It was so humbling and moving to receive such an honour. We also talked the need to successfully replenish the @GlobalFund this October to continue fighting HIV/AIDS, which will help save 16 million lives. We can and must end this epidemic.
FANTASTIC gig in Paris last night! Thank you @lennykravitz, Tilda Swinton and @jpgaultierofficial for coming to see the show. #EltonFarewellTour 📷: @bengibsonphoto
We're a trio who are going to end the worst epidemic of our time. Lelio Marmora ( @UNITAID Exec Director), Peter Sands ( @GlobalFund Exec Director) and myself with @ejaf are calling on the world to #StepUpTheFight to #EndAIDS. Read our @lemondefr article: bit.ly/EJLeMonde
Look who popped in backstage....👯♀️ Pocket-sized versions available online from @luciekaas #kokeshi 📷: @bengibsonphoto
Last night’s show in Dublin was extra special for me. My dear friend @alessandro_michele and his amazing @gucci team were in the house. Because of their sartorial genius, I go on stage every night feeling like a king. Grazie la Famiglia Gucci 😘🚀 📷: @bengibsonphoto

What a show in Brighton just now ❤️ Taron, thank you for joining me onstage tonight. We’ve shared so many moments during the filming and release of #Rocketman and singing 'Your Song' with you this evening is another I'll always cherish. 📷: @bengibsonphoto #EltonFarewellTour @rocketmanmovie @taron.egerton
Another legend departs. Dr John, along with Alain Toussaint, was everything that made the music of New Orleans so funky, original and atmospheric. What a pianist! What a singer. What a writer. Irreplaceable! #DrJohn #RIP
David and I have added a piece to #StonewallForever, a Living Monument to 50 Years of #Pride 🏳️🌈 Join us and the many before us by adding yours at: stonewallforever.org

When I was 6 years old, my Mum agreed to buy me a record in exchange for having my tooth pulled at the dentist in Northwood Hills. I chose Doris Day’s recording of Secret Love/The Deadwood Stage. I loved her music, and I still do today. Farewell to a Hollywood legend. #DorisDay #RIP
