Elton John's Diet Overhaul Sparks Weight-Loss Speculation

Sir Elton John, age 77, has revealed significant weight loss and a strict diet overhaul in response to his health challenges, notably type 2 diabetes and a severe eye infection. At a Broadway opening, his appearance sparked speculation about potential use of weight-loss drugs, although he attributes his transformation to dietary changes, including quitting sugar. On the Ruthie's Table 4 podcast, he shared his longing for sweets like chocolate and ice cream, which he can no longer enjoy due to his condition. Despite various health setbacks, including surgeries and vision issues, Elton maintains a disciplined routine to manage his condition effectively. He remains active in his career, recently performing at his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour and the Glastonbury Festival.
