Speaking at the New York premiere of his documentary 'Elton John: Never Too Late', the legendary performer started listing off his missing body parts.
"To be honest with you, there's not much of me left," John told the crowd.
"I don't have tonsils, adenoids or an appendix. I don't have a prostate. I don't have a right hip or, a left knee or a right knee. In fact, the only thing left to me is my left hip."
"But I'm still here," he continued. "And I can't thank you [enough], you're the people that made me."
The music icon thanked his husband, David Furnish, and their two sons, Zachary and Elijah, for "making me the happiest man in the world".
"I found complete and utter happiness and bliss when I met David and when I had my children, our children. And it satisfied me so much. I've never felt happiness like I have now," John said.
The 77-year-old singer underwent knee replacement surgery in January and recently revealed he was left with limited vision after a severe eye infection.
Elton John: Never Too Late follows John on his farewell tour and incredible life and career. The documentary will have a limited theatre run in the US and UK before becoming available to stream on Disney+ on December 13.
