Elton John got emotional at the White House while being surprised with the honor of the National Humanities Medal.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were on stage to present Elton with the honor. He was also joined by husband David Furnish.

“Tonight is my great honor, and I mean this sincerely, to present the National Humanities Medal to Sir Elton John,” Biden said.

An officer read the words on the medal, saying, “The President of the United States awards this National Humanities Medal to Sir Elton John for moving our souls with his powerful voice, one of the defining songbooks of all time. An enduring icon and advocate with absolute courage, who found purpose to challenge convention, shatter stigma and advance a simple truth: that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.”
