Elton John reflects on identity struggles after changing his name

Elton John discussed his feelings of emptiness after changing his name from Reginald Dwight to his stage name. In a recent interview, he reflected on how this decision helped him leave his childhood behind but also left him feeling like "just a void." John shared that he struggled with his identity during his early career, especially during a historic concert in 1975. He noted that while he wanted to shed his past, the persona of "little Reggie" remained within him. The singer also revealed ongoing health challenges, including vision loss, which have affected his ability to create new music. His documentary, "Never Too Late," showcases his life and career, and it will be available on Disney+ on December 13.
