‘I miss him, and we all miss him, and we miss his visage. So, George, I love you and I miss you.' 💛 Sir Elton John dedicated his performance of Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me to late friend George Michael.

During his hit song I’m Still Standing, in collaboration with Vodafone and using Augmented Reality technology, fans were able to enjoy a time-synced 3D show tribute, viewed via a special app.‘When you saw the news footage of what they were dealing with at the height of the pandemic, it was horrific but also completely awe inspiring that they were keeping going under the most awful circumstances.

Sir Elton performed songs from either end of his half-century as a recording artist, with a dedication to late collaborator Aretha Franklin too Sir Elton said of the song and its relevance now: ‘Who could ever have imagined a global pandemic like that and us having been through what everyone has been through in the past couple of years? But I’m Still Standing is a song that has taken on so many meanings to different people over the years. That’s the magic of pop music.

He added: ‘I’ve always tried to look forward with everything I do. The future is what excites me, not what’s happened before.
