Elton John and Bernie Taupin received the 2024 Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song in Washington, D.C.
The duo, aged 76 and 73 respectively, took center stage at the Library of Congress dinner event, named after George and Ira Gershwin.
Their creative partnership, spanning since 1967, has produced timeless classics like “Your Song” and “Rocket Man.”
Grateful for the honor, Elton expressed astonishment at the recognition after 56 years of collaboration, while Bernie humbly accepted, acknowledging the esteemed company of American songwriters.
Reports hint at Elton’s potential venture into creating a musical featuring his iconic hits, though discussions are ongoing, aiming for innovation and excitement in the project.
