Following its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September, the documentary Elton John: Never Too Late was screened at the New York Film Festival on October 1, 2024. The event featured a special appearance by Elton John, who spoke candidly about his health after the film.
During the post-screening discussion, John shared a heartfelt message with the audience, stating, "To be honest with you, there isn't much left of me. I don't have my tonsils, adenoids, or appendix. I don't have a prostate." He continued, humorously noting, "I don't have my right hip or left knee, but I still have my left hip. I'm still here, and I can't thank you enough. You are the people who have made me the man I am today. I want to thank David, Zachary, and Elijah for making me the happiest man in the world."
This documentary offers an intimate look into the life of the legendary musician, showcasing his journey and resilience, especially as he navigates health challenges.
