Elton John celebrated a major milestone on social media marking 30 years of sobriety.

Sir Elton took to Twitter and shared, "Reflecting on the most magical day having celebrated my 30th Sobriety Birthday. So many lovely cards, flowers and chips from my sons, David, friends in the Program, staff at the office and in our homes. I’m truly a blessed man."

John added, "If I hadn’t finally taken the big step of asking for help 30 years ago, I’d be dead. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the people who have inspired and supported me along the way."

Sir Elton's tweets honoring his incredible accomplishment included photos of his greeting cards, his new 30-year sober chip and a beautiful cake shaped into the number 30.
