AceShowbiz - Sir Elton John has captivated generations with his music, but his new Disney+ documentary "Elton John: Never Too Late" takes a contemplative turn, focusing on his reflections on life, death, and everything in between. The 77-year-old legend provides a candid look into his thoughts on mortality, facing a multitude of health struggles while wrapping up his final tour.

In a poignant scene from the documentary, Elton is seen in the dressing room at Dodger Stadium, pondering over his possessions and legacy. He opens up, "I wonder what is going to happen to all of this stuff when I finish? This is the latter time of my life. I don't know how much time I have left. You think about that more when you get to my age. You think about life and death. You think, 'Well, I just want to be where I want to be now.' "

Elton has dealt with significant health issues recently, including having both knees and his right hip replaced. He recalls, "I don't have tonsils, adenoids or an appendix. I don't have a prostate. I don't have a right hip or a left knee or a right knee. In fact, the only thing left to me is my left hip. But I'm still here."

Despite his health battles, Elton remains dedicated to his work and family. He and his husband David Furnish share two sons, Zachary, 13, and Elijah, 11. Elton expressed their concerns about his age and health, noting, "They worry as they know how old I am. Not so much David but me. They love their Daddy so they want me to be around forever. I want to be around forever. I want to see them have children, get married but I don't think I am going to be around for that."

The documentary also explores heartbreaking aspects of Elton's life, including the physical abuse he endured as a child and the emotional void left by an absent father who never saw him perform. "They were violent, they were physically violent. I used to walk on eggshells in case I did anything wrong," John shares.

Elton's "Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour" concluded in Stockholm last year after an astonishing 330 global concerts. Reflecting on this milestone, he mentioned, "I don't have to work after this. I will work and do records and putting radio shows together but travelling takes so much out of you. It is very tiring. I am used to it. I am a veteran at it but this is where you start to think about mortality."

The Rocket Man's fans were given an intimate portrayal of his life's highs, lows and indomitable spirit at the BFI London Film Festival premiere of "Never Too Late". As Elton himself sums up poignantly, "So that is why I want to make the best of my time while I am around. Our time together is so wonderful and so precious."
