Firstly, the author claims that Elton John has achieved EGOT status by winning an Emmy Award for best variety special (live) for 'Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium'. However, this statement is false as there are no references to any other awards won by Elton John in the article.

Lastly, there are several instances of sensationalism and selective reporting throughout the article.
