Praise The Lord indeed! 🙏🏻🚀 Our sold-out run of tammyfayemusical has sadly drawn to a close at the almeida_theatre 😢😢 eltonjohn and I are thrilled how each performance was rapturously received. And blown away by the extraordinary passion and hard work of EVERYONE who was a part of the magical team who built the show from the ground up. Congratulations go to katiebrayben1 and andrewrannells who knocked us all out as Tammy Faye and Jim Bakker. They were supported by the most talented cast I have ever seen on stage. They all put their heart and soul on stage every night! #RupertGoold, your direction was beyond brilliant. Thank-you for believing in the concept, and for your wondrous directorial vision. Finally, thanks to our superb creative troika of misterjamesgraham jakeshears and eltonjohn Your powerful words and evocative music, vividly brought the kaleidoscopically crazy world of American televangelism to life. Over 10 years ago, I pitched the idea of creating a stage musical based on the life of Tammy Faye Bakker to Elton. As a young man growing up in Canada, I was obsessed the moment I first saw Tammy on TV. She was a true Christian spirit, full of love, joy, acceptance and forgiveness 🙏🏻❤️😇 Special thanks go to jas1971uk who led for rocketentertainment and rebecca.quigley.71 who led for #GreenlightStage sally_greene And thank-you jaybakker for your kind blessing.

Elton and I are grateful to have recently spent time with the amazing Walmart Pharmacy team in Atlanta to discuss our shared goal of changing the course of HIV across the Unites States. That’s why it’s truly gratifying to announce on World AIDS Day that ejaf is launching a new Pharmacist training program with Walmart, in collaboration with DukeUniversity, to advance our efforts to end the HIV epidemic in the United States. Made possible through our Elton John Eyewear partnership, we aim to equip Walmart Pharmacists with the tools and knowledge they need to deliver informed, compassionate, and stigma-free care to the people who need it.

Today is #WorldAIDSDay. A day where I step back and reflect on the progress we have made in our mission to end the AIDS epidemic, and remember the 38 million people we have tragically lost to this disease. Through ejaf, eltonjohn and I are committed to ending AIDS in our lifetime and creating a world where generations to come live free from harmful stigma, discrimination, and inequality. But we couldn’t do this without the global expertise of our partners and the generosity of our supporters. Only when we join together can we end stigma, prevent infections and provide life-saving care — for everyone, everywhere.
