Elton John, 77, one of the most famous musicians of the 20th century, made a moving statement about how he wants to be remembered, People reports.
At TIME magazine’s Icon of the Year awards, the artist said he tries to be known above all as a loving father.

“My legacy is that I was a good husband and a better father… The music, the career – it’s incredible. It’s amazing, revolutionary. But the most important thing for me in life is to make sure that my children are Happy, that they have a Happy life and that I treat them well.”
Despite severe vision problems, Elton John continues to inspire millions with his example and appreciation of life.
