Accepting the award he confessed: ‘I’m still happy to be a gay man, I love my husband, I love my children.’
The star told the room: ‘I’m very humbled by this award, it means a lot as a gay man.
Commenting on his six-decade long career, he said: ‘I’m married to my work, I love music. Music saved me when I was happy, it saved me when I was miserable.’
He continued: ‘The Elton John Foundation was the real, real focus point of my life,’ and gave him ‘so much joy and so much pleasure’ to help others.
The star added that he and his husband, David Furnish, who is the CEO of the foundation have raised $600 million for the cause.
Elton became the second person to ever receive the Legacy Award after it was previously given to Prince Harry back in 2017, to mark 20 years since his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales had died.
