Elton John's career has been packed with endless award wins, but his newest honour has left him feeling truly "blessed."

This week, the 74-year-old visited Windsor Castle, where Prince Charles made him a member of the "Order of the Companions of Honour." It's an exclusive reward, earned by Elton for his contributions to music and charity.

Elton John "blessed" by new honour from Prince Charles

John required a walking stick to get around during the ceremony, as he's recovering from a recent hip procedure that forced him to postpone dates on his farewell tour. But he's not done performing just yet.
