Sir Elton confronts his mortality as he approaches 'latter' years

You think about life and... er, ...death

SITTING in a dressing room on his final tour, Sir Elton John surveys the possessions surrounding him as his thoughts turn to his own mortality.

The 77-year-old pop legend says poignantly: "I wonder what is going to happen to all of this stuff when I finish? This is the latter time of my life. I don't know how much time I have left.

"You think about that more when you get to my age.

"You think about life and, er, and death. You think, 'Well, I just want to be where I want to be now."

Sir Elton speaks candidly about his life, and what the future may hold as he gets older, in a new TV documentary. The star has battled a string of health problems over the years and had knee and hip replacements as well as surgery for prostate cancer.

He chats in the dressing room of Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, 47 years after he first played there in front of 110,000 fans.

Sir Elton's Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour concluded in Stockholm in July last year after 330 concerts worldwide.

He added: "I don't have to work after this. I will work and do records and putting radio shows together but travelling takes so much out of you.

"It is very tiring. I am used to it. I am a veteran at it but this is where you start to think about mortality." The documentary, Elton John: Never Too Late, was seen for the first time by fans at BFI London Film Festival on Thursday.
