Elton John’s Emotional Return at TIFF 2024: Never Too Late Premiere
Elton John made a powerful comeback at TIFF 2024, premiering his latest documentary Never Too Late. Co-directed by his husband, David Furnish, alongside R.J. Cutler, the film offers a raw and personal look at Elton’s legendary career, from his early days to his final North American show at Dodger Stadium in 2022.
Even with a severe eye infection limiting his vision, Elton’s presence at the event was filled with energy and emotion. During the premiere, he addressed the audience, acknowledging that although he couldn’t physically see them, their support was palpable. At 77, Elton reflected deeply on the film’s portrayal of his life, not just as an artist but as a husband and father. He shared that his relationships with his family now bring him more joy than any career milestone ever could.
The documentary doesn’t hold back, showing Elton’s journey through fame, addiction, and self-acceptance. It’s a powerful tribute to the man behind the music, who is now closing his touring chapter with a heart full of gratitude. As Never Too Late premiered, it became clear that this film is not just a celebration of Elton’s musical impact, but also a reflection of his personal growth and authentic self.
