John’s Disney+ special won the award for outstanding variety special at the Primetime Emmys on Monday night, beating the likes of the most recent Oscars and Tony Awards shows, Rihanna’s Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show, and Chris Rock: Selective Outrage.

This victory finally helped John win one award that had been eluding him for years and officially become the EGOT winner. He’s also the recipient of five Grammy awards, two best original song Oscars for “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” from The Lion King and “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” from Rocketman, and one Tony for the best original score for Aida.

John wasn’t present at the ceremony, but he acknowledged this historic honor in an official statement.

“I am incredibly humbled to be joining the unbelievably talented group of EGOT winners tonight. The journey to this moment has been filled with passion, dedication, and the unwavering support of my fans all around the world,” said John in a press release.

The famous singer made history by winning an Emmy for NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert. He became the first black man to reach EGOT status after adding an Emmy to his already full trophy shelf.

Legend’s first Grammy victory came in 2006 when he collected awards for Best New Artist, Best R&B Album and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. It was just the beginning of his amazing run since he received additional seven awards in the years to come.

Legend had to wait a little bit longer for the rest of his EGOT victories. He accepted Ava DuVernay’s invitation to write a song for her historical drama Selma. This decision transformed him into the winner of Academy Award for Best Original Song, which he won for Glory. Two years later, he received a Tony for co-producing Jitney for the Broadway stage.

His Emmy victory is special since he shared it with two amazing artists who also reached EGOT status that night. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice both received Oscar, Grammy, and Tony in the past, but Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert brought them their first Emmy victory.
