The award-winning singer/songwriter cemented his place in award show history when he was honored with an Emmy Award for “Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium” on Monday night.”

John became the 19th person ever to EGOT, Entertainment Weekly reported.

He joins the ranks of entertainers such as Viola Davis, Mel Brooks, Whoopi Goldberg and Richard Rodgers.

John had been on the cusp of winning with five Grammy awards, an Oscar for “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” and Tony Award for the score for “Aida,” Entertainment Weekly reported.

John was not at the ceremony on Monday because he had a “knee op” but “he’s absolutely fine,” Ben Winston, one of the producers of the show, said when accepting the Emmy on John’s behalf, USA Today reported.
