Elton John and Bernie Taupin to receive 2024 Gershwin Prize for Popular Song

Elton John continues his winning streak in 2024.

The legendary rocker — who recently gained EGOT status when his concert film, “Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium,” won Outstanding Variety Special (Live) at the Emmy Awards earlier this month — will soon add the Gershwin Prize to his long list of coveted awards.

On March 20, John and his longtime songwriting partner, Bernie Taupin, will receive the 2024 Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.

The prestigious honor — established in 2007 and named after composers George and Ira Gershwin — is the nation’s highest award for influence and achievement in popular music.

“I’ve been writing songs with Bernie for 56 years, and we never thought that that one day this might be bestowed upon us,” John said of receiving an award named for American songwriters. “It’s an incredible honor for two British guys to be recognized like this. I’m so honored.”

“To be in a house along with the great American songwriters, to even be in the same avenue is humbling, and I am absolutely thrilled to accept,” Taupin added.

Timeless standards like “Rocket Man,” “Tiny Dancer” and “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” are among the celebrated duo’s extensive music catalog.

In Tuesday’s announcement, Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden touted the pair for writing “some of the most memorable songs of our lives.”

John and Taupin will be honored with an all-star tribute concert in Washington, D.C., which will air on PBS stations nationwide on Monday, April 8.

Past Gershwin Prize winners include Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Carole King, Willie Nelson, Smokey Robinson, and Joni Mitchell, among others notable artists.
