Sir Elton John feels 'lucky' to have escaped 80s Aids crisis
Sir Elton John has shared that he feels ‘lucky’ that he wasn’t personally affected by the Aids crisis.
The artist revelation came after he watched the Channel 4 show ‘It’s A Sin’, a drama by Russell T Davies about people whose lives are challenged by the virus, despite many people ignoring the spread.
Elton John and The Independent raised over £3 million in 2019, as part of the AIDSfree campaign.
In 2020, Elton John launched an emergency fund to ensure that the effects of the coronavirus did not negatively impact HIV care.
