Elton John could receive another big honor. Elton’s Disney+ special, ‘Farewell From Dodger Stadium,’ has been nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Special (Live).
If he wins, Elton will be one of a very select few to have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar (Academy Award) and a Tony, collectively referred to as an EGOT. He has picked up two Oscars, five Grammys and a Tony.
Other musicians who have won all four awards are John Legend, Jennifer Hudson and Quincy Jones.
Elton says, "It’s an honor for my special to be recognized by the Academy. My final Dodger Stadium performance was bittersweet and an evening that I will never forget. My team, the producers and everyone at Disney+ went above and beyond to create a magical production, not only for me as I said goodbye to North America, but for my fans all over the world to enjoy for years to come!"
The Emmy Awards will be televised September 18th on FOX.
