But, despite his monumental achievement, Mr 76 years old artist was not in person in Los Angeles to receive the award, due to the recent intervention on his knee.
The acceptance speech was given by the film’s executive producer Ben Winston and his award was accepted by his smiling husband David Furnish.
Elton John became just the 19th artist to win all four awards in competitive categories, although six other people have entered the EGOT club through honorary awards.
