The Rocket Man singer was then treated for minor injuries.
Elton suffered the fall at his villa in Nice while on holiday with his husband David Furnish and their two sons.
A representative for Elton John said that he was discharged this morning and is now back at home in good health.
They said: “We can confirm that following a slip yesterday at his home in the south of France, Elton visited the local hospital as a precautionary measure.
“Following check ups, he was immediately discharged this morning and his now back at home and in good health.”
It’s understood he was only slightly injured and underwent a brain and lumbar scan, which revealed he had not suffered any fractures.
Elton was enjoying his summer holidays in sunny France after wrapping up his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour last month.
The 330-show, five-year tour grossed £720.11million, which is the equivalent to £2.18million per show or about £16,000 a minute.
While Elton hasn’t ruled out releasing new music in the future, he’s decided to retire from touring to spend more time with David and their kids.
However, Elton added that he hasn’t given up performing for good and will likely still play “the odd show” every now and then.
Elton frequently says that he is determined to stay healthy for the sake of his young family.
On his 75th birthday, Elton wrote a letter to his sons published in Time magazine where he called them his ‘proudest achievements’. He wrote: “Zachary and Elijah, you two are the greatest gifts I have ever been given.
“You have filled my heart with love and my life with purpose and meaning in ways I didn’t think were possible.
“You are my proudest achievements, and I love you both so, so much … Whoever you grow up to be, just be you — fully and completely you.”
Earlier this month, Elton was pictured celebrating with Kevin Spacey just weeks after the Hollywood star was cleared of sex assaults.
The music star gave a key testimony in Spacey’s trial last month and this week the pair partied in a restaurant with a band.
A video posted by The Snugglers showed Spacey, who had been accused of assaulting four men, filming as Elton joined in with the 1969 Elvis Presley classic.
The dinner, also attended by Sir Elton’s husband David Furnish, was held at the posh Petite Maison in Nice, France.
