This is the best summary I could come up with:

Elton John is now an EGOT after his Emmy win on Monday night for outstanding variety special (live) for his show "Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium."

John was not at Monday night's Emmy Awards to accept his win, as he is recovering from a knee operation.

The 76-year-old singer's partner, David Furnish, was at the ceremony however and updated everyone on John's reaction to receiving the award.

Ben Winston, one of the producers of the special, accepted the award on the singer's behalf.

Elton John performed the last set of his final tour in Stockholm, Sweden, in July.

The rock legend slipped at his home in Nice, France, in August and spent the night at a hospital as a precautionary measure.
