Adele, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr only need to win Tony Awards to reach EGOT status after first Emmy wins

Music legends Adele, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Eminem are all just one award away from EGOT status following their wins at the 2022 Creative Arts Emmy Awards!

The 34-year-old British singer-songwriter scored her first Emmy Award in the variety special (pre-recorded) category for Adele: One Night Only.

McCartney and Starr both received their first Emmy in the documentary/nonfiction category for their roles as producers of The Beatles: Get Back, while the 49-year-old rapper won the best variety special (live) award for his appearance at the Super Bowl halftime show this year.

The foursome - who were already winners of Oscars and Grammys - now just need to nab a Tony Award to have taken out the top awards in television (Emmy), music (Grammy), film (Oscar) and theater (Tony).

The EGOT is considered the grand slam of show business and currently only 17 people have achieved the coveted status: composer Richard Rodgers, actress Rita Moreno, singer John Legend, actress Audrey Hepburn, actor John Gielgud, composer Marvin Hamlisch, orchestrator Jonathan Tunick, filmmaker Mel Brooks, actress Helen Hayes, director Mike Nichols, actress Whoopi Goldberg, producer Scott Rudin, composer Robert Lopez, composer Tim Rice, composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, composer Alan Menken, and actress Jennifer Hudson.

Congratulations Adele, Paul, Ringo and Eminem!
