Elton John reveals touching words he wants on his tombstone
Sir Elton John knows exactly what he wants written on his tombstone
Elton John is sure about what he wants on his gravestone, and it’s not a nod to his great music career.
Elton was recently TIME‘s Icon of the Year, and as he reflected on his achievements in life, he said being a good husband and father is what he wants to be remembered for.
“On my gravestone, all I want it to say is, ‘He was a great dad,’ ” the Cold Heart singer told Time in an interview alongside his husband David Furnish.
The icon shares two sons, Zachary, 13, and Elijah, 11, with his filmmaker husband.
John shared a similar sentiment when speaking with Good Morning America‘s Robin Roberts in an interview that aired on Dec. 11.
“My music speaks for itself,” Elton said. “My legacy is that I was a great husband and an even better father… The music, the career is fantastic. It’s been mind-blowing, groundbreaking. But the most important thing to me in my life is making sure my children are happy, they have a wonderful life and that I was good to them. That’s all that counts.”
Elton John married David Furnish in 2014 after first entering a civil partnership on December 21, 2005.
