Elton John: “I’m craving some ice cream”

Elton John (77) apparently has a very strict diet plan. The British singer said he doesn’t eat sugar and it’s been a long time since he last treated himself to a “sweet treat.” The music star was diagnosed with diabetes back in the early 2000s.

“I can have an apple, I can eat a little melon,” he reportedly said on the podcast, adding, “As long as you use it sensibly, it doesn’t spike your blood sugar. But I do crave chocolate and Ice cream, I can’t have ice cream.” That’s why he knows what he would want for his last meal: It would contain “nothing but sweets because I can’t eat them now.” Elton John continued: “I like all kinds of things that aren’t good for me. Fried chicken, donuts.”

While Elton John appears to have his diabetes well under control, he has also struggled with other health problems over the past few years. At a screening of his new documentary “Elton John: Never Too Late” at the New York Film Festival in early October, the musician himself joked about it. According to the New York Post, he gave the amused audience a comprehensive overview of all the body parts that had been removed over the course of his life: “I no longer have any tonsils, no adenoids and no appendix,” he explained there. “I don’t have a prostate. I don’t have a right hip, left or right knee. The only thing I have left is my left hip.”

In September, the 77-year-old also announced that he had just recovered from a serious eye infection that had temporarily limited his vision.
