After the film was screened, John became overwhelmed with emotion, telling the audience: The thing I love about this movie is that I have him [Furnish] and I have my two sons. I'm very proud of what I've achieved, he said, pausing to hold back his tears. And I will hope to keep making music, but I want to be at home with them and see them and treasure them. It's the greatest feeling I've ever had in my life, more than having a first number one album on Billboard.
The documentary features interviews with never-before-seen archival footage and photographs, as well as documenting the love story John found with Furnish. It is billed as a portrait of the singer as he looks back on his life and forward to a climactic farewell show at Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium.
His appearance at the world premiere comes days after he shared the health announcement with almost 5 million fans on Instagram. Over the summer, I've been dealing with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye, he wrote. I am healing, but it's an extremely slow process and it will take some time before significant improvements.
The British singer, 77, was pictured in good spirits as he arrived on the back of a buggy at the Canadian festival, alongside his husband, David Furnish. The pair, modelling different shades of burgundy suits, arrived for the world premiere of documentary film Elton John: Never Too Late.
