Elton John bequeathed to write on his tombstone only one phrase that best describes the singer's main goal in life

The legendary star Elton John, who recently announced that he has partial vision loss, has named the one phrase he would like his family to write on his tombstone. The singer, who is studied even as part of the school curriculum, considers his role as a father to be more important than that of an artist listened to by billions.

At the age of 77, the celebrity began to think about his own death. According to People, this happened after Elton John was recognized as the Icon of the Year by TIME magazine.

"My tombstone says everything I want it to say: "He was a great father," he told the magazine.

According to the artist, he doesn't need a lot of statuses and titles, but only to be a successful father. It's worth noting that Elton John and his husband David Furnish, who have been married for over 30 years, have two sons: 13-year-old Zachary and 11-year-old Elijah.

"My music speaks for itself. My legacy is that I was a great husband and an even better father... The music, the career is fantastic. It was amazing, and innovative. But the most important thing for me in life is to make sure that my children are happy, that they have a great life, and that's all that matters," the celebrity said.

This story about his most important mission in life was not the first time he told us about it. He regularly speaks publicly about his love for his children and how proud he is of them.

"For me personally, I've had an amazing life, a great career, incredible achievements, music, blah, blah, blah, but I would say that our sons and David are the most important to me," he said in an interview with Andy's radio show.
