Thursday, April 21 2016
Elton has paid an emotional tribute to Prince, who has died suddenly on April 21, 2016, aged 57.
Elton said the "Purple Rain" singer was "musically way ahead of any of us," in a message on Instagram. "This is truly devastating news," he said, affectionately calling the late star "purple warrior" in reference to his favourite colour.
"Sang with him twice on stage. What an honour", Elton continued. Below is a clip from Elton performing "The Long and Winding Road" with Prince at London's O2 Arena in September 2007.
