Sir Elton added: “I’ve had an amazing life, music has been my life, and I got this for music and for work for charity.

“I may not look as if I’m 100% fit – but I’m not quite – but I’m still raring to go and I’ve got a lot more work to do as far as my life goes.

“So this is just a reminder that there’s more to do.

“More work to do for music, more work to do for charity and life is great – I’m so lucky.”
