Last year was a bumper year for new entries into the EGOT hall of fame - those performers who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony - including Sir Elton John.
The singer completed the set by winning the Grammy for best variety special live for ‘Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium’ at the 2024 awards ceremony.
He joined the list of those that have completed the clean sweep, including some of the best known faces in the film, theatre and music industries, alongside a few lesser known names.
Only 21 people have ever been able to call themselves EGOTS, a figure that rises to 25 if you include honourary awards (Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, James Earl Jones, Harry Belafonte and Quincy Jones all completed one leg with a non-competitive award).
And this year Cynthia Erivo could become the 22nd member of the club if she takes home the Best Actress Oscar for her role in Wicked.
Here are all 21 EGOTs to date, and what they won.
