Sir Elton John has canceled his participation in a celebration in honor of Princess Diana for health reasons.

Elton John (74) apparently cannot attend a celebration in honor of Princess Diana (1961-1997). This is reported by the British “The Sun”. The singer must therefore recover from a hip operation that he underwent earlier this month. Elton John injured his hip in a fall, as he announced in mid-September. The European dates of his world tour therefore had to be postponed to 2023.

Around 100 guests from the vicinity of the deceased are expected at the event in Kensington Palace, which is to take place on Tuesday (October 19) and was originally planned for the unveiling of the Princess Diana statue on the occasion of her 60th birthday in July. Elton John is said to have been personally invited by Prince William (39). The singer had a special connection with Princess Diana. At their funeral service he provided goose bumps with the song “Candle in the Wind”.

Prince Harry is not expected

The statue of Princess Diana was unveiled by Prince William and Prince Harry (37) in early July in the Sunken Garden of Kensington Palace. At that time Harry arrived without his family. It was not clear for a long time whether he would return to his home country of Great Britain with his wife Duchess Meghan (40) and their two children for the upcoming celebration. In early 2020 the family moved to Montecito, California. “The Telegraph” reported, citing royal insiders a few days ago that the couple is not expected.

Special music record

Elton John’s new album “The Lockdown Sessions” will be released on October 22nd. In his home country he set a special record this Wednesday (October 13th): He is the first artist in the history of the UK charts to achieve a top 10 single in six different decades. He recently succeeded in doing this with his new song “Cold Heart (Pnau Remix)” with Dua Lipa (26).
