Elton John crashes “Pose” panel: “This program touched me more than any other series”

DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD; There were two empty chairs on stage for Pose‘s FYC panel at the Rose Bowl Saturday night, moderated by series co-creator/executive producer Ryan Murphy. He pointed to them midway through the discussion with co-creator/executive producer Steven Canals and stars Billy Porter and Mj Rodriguez when he brought out two big fans of the show who “wanted to rearrange their vacation to be here,” Elton John and his husband David Furnish.

John who lived through the 1980s AIDS epidemic, spoke of creating his AIDS Foundation which has raised $500 million to date.

“My motto is no one gets left behind. No one should be left behind, no sex worker, no prisoner, to trans person, no intravenous drug user, no gay people. We have to embrace all of us, we have to embrace everybody. And this is exactly why I love this program so much,” he said of FX’s Pose during the drive-in event. “This program touched me more than any other series because of the journey that these people are on. I mean, I am Elektra. I am totally Elektra.”
