        Tearful Sir Elton John could not hold back his tears as he paid a heartfelt tribute to his friend.

        The superstar singer chose his famous 1974 ballad hit Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, as the crowd was left in absolute awe during the emotional moment.

        Elton introduced the song with a moving preamble to his late friend George - who died to natural causes aged 53 on December 2016 - as today would have mark his 60th birthday.
