All my life Iโve tried to use music to bring people together. Yet it saddens me to see how misinformation is now being used to divide our world.
ย
Iโve decided to no longer use Twitter, given their recent change in policy which will allow misinformation to flourish unchecked.
29 years ago today, I was a broken man.
I finally summoned up the courage to say 3 words that would change my life: โI need helpโ. Thank you to all the selfless people who have helped me on my journey through sobriety.
I am eternally grateful.

(1/5) We've been shocked to read about the HIV misinformation and homophobic statements made at a recent DaBaby show. This fuels stigma and discrimination and is the opposite of what our world needs to fight the AIDS epidemic.
The facts are:
What a pleasure it was to be part of this wonderful Christmas advert. Hope you enjoy it. Elton xo

I am deeply distressed by todayโs distorted and malicious account in the press surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussexโs private stay at my home in Nice last week.
It was an honour to perform and be presented by President with the National Humanities Medal for my contribution to music and the work through to end AIDS!
Weโve reached over 100m people with HIV and we couldn't have done it without our supportersโค๏ธ

I highly respect and applaud both Harry and Meghanโs commitment to charity and Iโm calling on the press to cease these relentless and untrue assassinations on their character that are spuriously crafted on an almost daily basis.

Itโs true, I love seeing young artists rise and flourish. and , you are both brilliant and what a cool version of โDonโt Go Breaking My Heartโ! Elton xo #EltonSalute #EltonREVAMP

Prince Harryโs Mother, Diana Princess Of Wales was one of my dearest friends. I feel a profound sense of obligation to protect Harry and his family from the unnecessary press intrusion that contributed to Dianaโs untimely death.
Seeing the fires raging across Australia have left me heartbroken. This tragedy has taken lives, homes and devastated so much wildlife. At my Sydney show last night, I pledged $1 million dollars to support the Bushfire Relief Fund.
God bless, Australia. ๐ฆ๐บโค๏ธ

๐ Homophobic and HIV mistruths have no place in our society and industry and as musicians, we must spread compassion and love for the most marginalised people in our communities.
A musicianโs job is to bring people together.
I'm so, so proud of , whose new record #Chromatica is even better than I could have imagined. It was an honour to be a part of it, and I hope you all love #SineFromAbove as much as I do! - E xx ๐
The last thing I expected to do during lockdown was make an album but here it is. Thank you to everyone who came together to make it happen.
I canโt wait for you all to hear โThe Lockdown Sessionsโ when itโs released on 22 October, but for now, preorder it from today.
Congratulations to the whole #Heartstopper team, especially Kit Connor who played young me in Rocketman (youโre a star โญ๏ธ), on your win at last nights #AttitudeAwards!
Itโs a beautiful series and a powerful portrayal of young gay love - thank you for making it!
A very sad day. Charlie Watts was the ultimate drummer. The most stylish of men, and such brilliant company. My deepest condolences to Shirley, Seraphina and Charlotte. And of course, The Rolling Stones.

๐ You can live a long and healthy life with HIV. Treatment is so advanced that with one pill a day, HIV can become undetectable in your body so you canโt pass it onto other people.
How can the Vatican refuse to bless gay marriages because they โare sinโ, yet happily make a profit from investing millions in โRocketmanโ - a film which celebrates my finding happiness from my marriage to David?? #hypocrisy

After a hectic year continuing their hard work and dedication to charity, David and I wanted the young family to have a private holiday inside the safety and tranquility of our home. To maintain a high level of much-needed protection, we provided them with a private jet flight.

๐ In America, a gay black man has a 50% lifetime chance of contracting HIV. Stigma and shame around HIV and homosexuality is a huge driver of this vulnerability. We need to break down the myths and judgements and not fuel these.

I want to thank everyone who attended the #EltonFarewellTour gig in Auckland tonight.
I was diagnosed with walking pneumonia earlier today, but I was determined to give you the best show humanly possible.
Such a thrill to perform with last night. Great to share the stage with a real singer and artist. She was terrific in every way and looked so gorgeous. I love you dear Miley. Such a beautiful woman and beautiful soul. Ex

Tom Petty's music and songs are timeless. He was a wonderful writer, musician and singer. Irreplaceable and unique. #RIPTomPetty
Without Jerry Lee Lewis, I wouldnโt have become who I am today. He was groundbreaking and exciting, and he pulverized the piano. A brilliant singer too. Thank you for your trailblazing inspiration and all the rock โnโ roll memories. #RIP
Sometimes you play a show that strikes different, where the audience responds in a way that truly moves you. Liverpool, you were that show.
Thank you for the most incredible night, I love you all so much!!

The track I worked on is out tomorrow! Iโve always been a Gorillaz fan so when Damon reached out and asked me to get involved it was a no-brainer. The way the song turned out is just great โ I canโt wait for you to hear it ๐

I believe that love is love and being able to love as we choose is a basic human right. Wherever we go, my husband David and I deserve to be treated with dignity and respect - as do each and every one of the millions of LGBTQ+ people around the world.
Iโm going to be sitting down tonight with David and the boys to watch One World: #TogetherAtHome, a global display of unity to support the in the fight against #COVID19
Reflecting on the most magical day having celebrated my 30th Sobriety Birthday. So many lovely cards, flowers and chips from my sons, David, friends in the Program, staff at the office and in our homes. Iโm truly a blessed man.
#KillingEve is such a groundbreaking series and I was thrilled to be included in this week's episode. I think the glasses suit you, Jodie! ๐

I hope everyone enjoyed One World: #TogetherAtHome last night as much as we did at home! Huge thanks to , who has done such a tremendous job pulling this whole thing together and raising almost $128 million to support the #COVID19 crisis.
Without a doubt - musically, vocally and visually - he was my biggest influence. Seeing him live in my teens was the most exciting event in my life at that point. Goosebumps, electricity and joy came from every pore.
A visit from , and made the first #EltonFarewellTour show at even more special last night.
