The only disappointment for some was that big names, rumored to duet with the legend, did not appear on the night.

It was widely speculated that Britney Spears, 41, would perform their song Hold Me Closer with Elton on the show, but she never appeared.

Elton also noted that he would sing Dua Lipa’s part of the song, Cold Heart, himself because she couldn’t join him that night either.

At the start of the show, Elton walked onto the stage in a gold suit before sitting down at the piano as the fireworks went off, before saying he never imagined playing the festival for a ‘special and emotional’ show .

Pop star Sir Elton took off his famous red tinted glasses to wipe away tears as his musical guests paid homage on stage.

‘One of Britain’s most wonderful singers and songwriters was George Michael. He was my friend, he was an inspiration, and today would have been his 60th birthday, so I want to dedicate this song to his memory. All the music he left us is so beautiful. This is for you George.’

He opened his set with Pinball Wizard before playing The B***h Is Back and then said, ‘I never thought I’d ever play Glastonbury and here I am.

“It’s a very special and emotional night for me because it might be my last ever show in England, so I better play well, and I better entertain you, you’ve been standing there for so long, and I appreciate all outfits and everything.’

He then followed up with Bennie And The Jets and Daniel in front of a packed house on the Pyramid Stage.
