Elton John had the honor of being decorated with the highest distinction awarded by the Queen of England. He received the Companion of Honor in recognition of his incredible career, but also for his philanthropic action, he who is known to be particularly involved in the fight against AIDS among other causes.
And after 50 years of career and more than 300 million albums sold, the artist is now one of 64 people, in addition to the queen, to be able to wear this decoration on a daily basis if we are to believe NME.
I'm humbled and honored to be among such highly esteemed company in receiving the Companion of Honor.
2019 has turned out to be a truly wonderful year for me and I feel extraordinarily blessed.
