To think Elton John performing Candle in the Wind was a bit wierd??

I just thought it was an odd choice given that he performed that song at Diana's funeral? Must bring back unhappy memories for the royals surely?

It would be weird if he had, but he actually did Your Song!

lostinabook · 05/06/2022 12:15

He didn't? He did Your Song (prerecord at Windsor)

ShropshirePeasant · 05/06/2022 12:15

It wasn’t Candle in the Wind, it was ‘Your Song’.

BobbinHood · 05/06/2022 12:15

He didn’t perform Candle in the Wind…

Agree it would have been weird if he had. Weirder that you think he did.

CrystalTits · 05/06/2022 12:15

He performed Your Song, not Candle in the Wind.

curiousitygotthebetterofme · 05/06/2022 12:16

he didn’t play candle in the wind

KyaClark · 05/06/2022 12:16

Well, this is embarrassing

TwoBigNoisyBoys · 05/06/2022 12:16

I thought he did Your Song? Did he do Candle in the Wind as well?

CharlotteSt · 05/06/2022 12:16

Ha ha ha 🤣

(Sorry OP)

Hugasauras · 05/06/2022 12:16

🤦‍♀️

If you're going to look for something to criticise about what was a wonderful evening, then at least get your gripes correct.

cakeorwine · 05/06/2022 12:17

It would have been weird

It must have been weird for Charles and William as Elton John would have brought back memories of Diana and her funeral.

But he didn't sing Candle in the Wind.

Pineapplemonkey · 05/06/2022 12:17

I genuinely just googled to check - I was convinced he did Your Song, and I was right!

Onlyforcake · 05/06/2022 12:17

Definitely Your Song

SoupDragon · 05/06/2022 12:18

BrylcreamBeret · 05/06/2022 12:19

lurchermummy · 05/06/2022 12:19

WooNoodle · 05/06/2022 12:19

Did you watch something completely different to everyone else?

Ha ha….brilliant OP 😂 I didn’t watch the whole thing so thought I’d missed it 😂

Princessoftheuniverse · 05/06/2022 12:21

Funny you should say that as for some reason when I heard the opening bars I also thought surely he’s not doing ‘Candle in the Wind’. Luckily he wasn’t. Took me a few seconds to get it straight in my head though. Strange.

burnoutbabe · 05/06/2022 12:23

The first few chines did sound like it.

I thought he had promised the boys to never publicly perform that song after he did it at the funeral. (Not sure if it's both versions or just the Diana one)

Georgeskitchen · 05/06/2022 12:37

He has never performed that song again publicly and he never will x

Marvellousmadness · 05/06/2022 12:39

What's even wierder is that he didn't actually sing that song...

WisteriaLodge · 05/06/2022 12:40

Eh? Wrong song OP!
