Elton did share a statement in acceptance of his win.

“Whilst I am gutted that I couldn’t be there to accept this award in person– I recently underwent a knee operation, a gentle reminder, perhaps, of a lifetime spent jumping off pianos (see pic 2!) – my heartfelt thanks go out to the Academy and all those who took the time to vote. This award reflects the collective effort and creativity of an amazing team…”
“Thank you to all the fans, friends, and collaborators who have supported me throughout the years,” Elton concluded.
