The real-life Rocketman, Elton John, has yet again sparked concerns after he shared a tragic life update.
But firstly, let’s speak a bit more about the Rocketman star.
And that’s why a movie was made about him… but not everything in the movie was accurate.
Elton John’s discography is at the core of Rocketman and is used as a narrative device to tell the story of Elton’s life. But not everything was as accurate as it seemed in the successful biopic.
Expressing their feelings through a group rendition of “I Want Love,” we watch the Dwight family sharing verses of the Elton John hit.
According to Variety, it was actually the Mann hit that the Dwight’s forlornly sang together.

In the movie, we also see Elton performing at The Troubadour for the first time.
In reality, Elton did not write or release “Crocodile Rock” for another 3 and a half years.
Sadly, as much as we’d all like to believe that this uplifting number was written whilst Elton was clean, it’s simply not true.
In defense of the musical reshuffling in Rocketman, some argue that Elton’s songs have grown truer, more profound meanings as his life and career moved forward.
After all, there is so much more to the star than just his music.
And even though many of his famous friends, including Princess Diana and George Michael didn’t make the cut in the movie… they most certainly did in real life.
Which explains why there is no mention of George Michael, Freddie Mercury, Giovani Vercase, Diana, or Rod Stewart. Fair enough, right?
Including his drug and alcohol battles… which, by the way, he has now battled and has been now living over twenty-five years sober.
But all isn’t well for the pop veteran right now.
Elton is now seventy-five-years-old and it’s easy to see that his chaotic lifestyle as a younger man has certainly caught up on him.
The seventy-five-year-old went on to let fans know that he had been diagnosed with Walking Pneumonia, which is caused by bacteria that affects the lower and upper respiratory tract.
Susannah Constantine wrote: “Oh darling. Why didn’t you say? X.”
Because this week, Elton has shared that he’s lost his beloved Aunt Win.
“I loved her so much and will miss her terribly. She was kindness personified. #RIP.”
Rest in peace, Aunt Win.
