The 77-year-old music icon attended the debut of Tammy Faye in NYC on Thursday, Nov. 14, looking noticeably slimmer in a pink suit layered over a black top. The "I'm Still Standing" singer accessorized with a pearl necklace, pink sneakers, and dark-rimmed glasses.

John posed alongside his husband, David Furnish, 62, at the event. He was met with thunderous applause when he took to the stage after the performance, according to the Daily Mail.

The star's recent weight loss coincides with the revelation that he gave up sugar to help control his blood sugar levels.

John, who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the early 2000s, said on Ruthie's Table 4 podcast that it had been a "long time" since he indulged in any of his favorite desserts.

"I can have an apple, I can eat a bit of melon," he said.

"As long as you're sensible about it, it doesn't shoot your blood sugar up. But what I crave is chocolate and ice cream, I can't have any ice cream."

The Grammy Award winner admitted that if he had to choose the contents of his last meal, it would exclusively feature sugary foods.

"I like all sorts of things that aren't good for me,” John said. “Fried chicken, donuts. If I had a death row meal, it wouldn't contain anything except sweets, because I can't eat them now. So, I'd have ice cream, donuts, apple pie, rhubarb crumble, blah blah blah."
