Elton John honours George Michael
Elton John honored his late friend George Michael during his concert in Las Vegas on Wednesday. In front of a large photo of Michael projected above the stage, John opened the show with “Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me”, which he originally recorded in 1974.
Michael and John performed the ballad together at the Live Aid concert in 1985, and at Michael's Wembley Arena concert in 1991. The duet was recorded and released at the end of 1991, and ended up topping the Billboard Hot 100 in 1992.
Former Wham! singer and solo artist George Michael passed away on Christmas Day due to heart failure at his UK home. He was 53.
Wednesday's concert was the first in a series of four New Year's shows, called “The Million Dollar Piano” that the 69-year-old entertainer is performing at Caesars Palace.
