Elton John honors Elizabeth II with concert in Canada

Elton-John tributo Reina Isabel
Ottawa, Sep 9 (Prensa Latina) British singer and songwriter Elton John paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II at his last concert in the Canadian city of Toronto, news outlets highlighted today.

The singer-songwriter performed his 1974 song Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me, dedicated to her highness.

He also offered his condolences to the new king and the rest of the royal family, and stated that her spirit lives on, so it will be celebrated with music.

The concert the day before was the second of the two that he offered at the Rogers Center stadium as part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, considered as his farewell to the stage.

Knighted by the monarch in 1998, John is notable not only for his musical career, but also for his involvement in numerous charitable causes.

The also composer and pianist, member of the Order of the Companions of Honour, registers throughout his career more than 300 million records sold, which positions him as one of the most successful artists of all time.

Canada has a system of parliamentary monarchy in which the British kings of hereditary succession are the sovereigns of the nation, for which Elizabeth II was also its head of state for 70 years.
