Elton John was performing at Toronto's Rogers Centre in Canada last night, where he paused half way through to pay further tributes to late monarch, whose reign lasted 70 years.
“Today we had the saddest news about the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth,” the Tiny Dancer singer said. “She was an inspiring presence to be around — I’ve been around her and she was fantastic. She led the country though some of our greatest and darkest moments with grace, decency and a genuine care and warmth".
“I’m 75 — she’s been with me all my life, and I feel very sad that she won’t be with me any more,” he continued. “But I’m glad she’s at peace and I’m glad she’s at rest, and she deserves it because she’s worked bloody hard".
“I send my love to her family and her loved ones. She will be missed, but her spirit lives on and we celebrate her life tonight with music — OK?”.
Following this tribute, Elton John performed his track 'Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me'.
Elton John was among many names from the world of entertainment to pay tribute to the late British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.
