Elton John has paid tribute to his long-time friend Elizabeth Taylor during a concert in Pennsylvania. Speaking on Wednesday night, the day that Taylor passed away, Elton John offered an extended tribute for the crowd at Pittsburgh’s Consol Energy Center.
He said: "Today I lost a friend and you lost a hero named Elizabeth Taylor. She was not just a movie star, although she was a huge movie star and there will never be anyone like her again...She was without a doubt one of the greatest people I've ever met in my life"
"She stood up when no one was prepared to stand up and be counted against AIDS. She supported everybody in that with 1,000 percent of her body and her fibre. But most of all she loved people. She fought for the underdog. She was an incredible woman and I was privileged to have known her."
He continued: "God bless you, Elizabeth. God knows how we're going to replace you. This is for you and your beautiful memory and for all the people you helped and saved," The singer then proceeded to launch into a passionate rendition of his 1974 hit, ‘Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me’.
