When it comes to Elton John, the words that instantly come to mind are bold, dazzling, and unpredictable. The Rocket Man legend has never been one to play by the rules or change his style to fit anyone else’s mold. Recently, the music icon has been giving serious thought to how he wants to be remembered once he is gone. That being said, his loved ones are in for quite the surprise.
Elton John recently admitted he has some special things in store for his family and friends when his time comes. He wants to ensure that everyone near and dear to his heart is gifted something that screams Elton.
Radar Online reports that Elton John has shared exactly what his bizarre deathbed gifts to his loved ones will be. And it is somewhat unsettling. Fans are aware that over the years, Elton’s health has been in rapid decline. So, while dealing with his advancing age and poor health, he has thought a lot about his final wishes and how he wants to be remembered.
Over the years, Elton has had his kneecaps removed during surgery. He even had them preserved and turned into a necklace. The somewhat shocking item was designed with jeweler Theo Fennell.
Feenel processed the kneecaps by baking, polishing, and transforming the singer’s body parts into something Elton now wears proudly. The chain itself was inscribed with a Latin phrase declaring he would bow to no man.
Elton John’s Final Curtain Call Comes With a Twist
There is more. Those close to the star claim he’s planned even stranger deathbed bequests for his loved ones. Picture items that could be straight out of a horror film. Vials of his own blood, jewelry infused with his ashes, and other intimate keepsakes.
Elton allegedly agrees that these may be freaky gifts. However, he also feels they will be the ultimate expression of love. He doesn’t find his strange gifts morbid. He finds them deeply personal, even beautiful.
“People might find it gruesome, but Elton says he doesn’t care,” a source told us. “He feels that if people can turn hair into keepsakes or wear lockets of ashes, then why not go further? He sees it as the ultimate statement of love.”
Those close to Sir Elton John claim that since the singer retired from the stage, he has become fixated on his death. For him, these deeply personal keepsakes are an extension of his art and a chance to leave behind a little piece of himself, even if it’s a little out there.
To him, this is the perfect way to ensure he will always stay close to his sons and husband David by leaving them a special piece of him. But only in an eccentric way befitting Elton John. While not everyone may be on board the Elton John body part train, the singer is unbothered.
To him, it’s sentimental, and above all, it’s unforgettable. So in life and death, he plans to remain spectacular and a little creepy. But who is going to refuse a one-of-a-kind Elton John original?
