John spotted alone

A fan spotted Elton John walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of February 24, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Elton back on the market?

A rep for Elton John was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the singer was splitting hit the internet Wednesday (February 25), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Elton’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”

Based on the facts (John spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
