At the 2024 Attitude Awards ceremony, Elton John ended his speech with a jab at Elon Musk
One of the main singers of music, Elton John called Elon Musk “c*zão” when receiving the award Legacy Award in the 2024 edition of Attitude Awards. Previously, the artist left Twitter after changes made by the billionaire on the social network.
According to information from the Attitudethe ceremony took place last Wednesday night, the 9th, in London. John received the award from the hands of the singer Ed Sheeran. He was the second person to be chosen for the Legacy Award – the first was Prince Harryin 2018.
When he took the stage to thank him, the artist seemed “honored” with the award. Furthermore, he explained how he “loves being gay” and took the opportunity to poke fun at Elon Musk. “It’s been a long journey for me, with many ups and downs and finally peace of mind,” he said.
Music saved me – when I was happy and when I was unhappy.
Right away, Elton John recalled how he created his own non-profit organization, called Elton John AIDS Foundation. According to the singer, he was inspired after seeing “everyone else march and do so much for people who were ignored in the United States and around the world.”
“Instead of going out to do shows, I delivered meals and saw what the real world was like. EJAF became the real focus of my life,” he said. “It gave me a lot of joy, a lot of pleasure to honor all the people we lost in the 1980s.”
It’s still going strong. Now, my husband, Davidis the CEO and president of the foundation and, to date, we have raised $600 million dollars.
“I’m so happy to be a gay man. I love my husband, my kids – I have benefits as a gay man that I never thought I’d be able to have. It’s been the most incredible success,” he continued Elton John. “We are very lucky to live in a country that gives us the rights we have. But there are still people who don’t have those rights and I intend to fight for those rights until the day I die.”
Upon picking up the award, which is shaped like an “A,” John finished his speech: “This is the award? What does ‘A’ mean?”Arsehole‘ (‘C*zão,’ in free translation) comes to mind… but let’s not talk about Elon Musk tonight – let’s have fun!”
