Elton John, happy souvenir photo with Diana for the 25th anniversary of his death
Updated
For the 25th anniversary of Lady Di’s death, her friend Elton John paid tribute to her with a magnificent souvenir photo.
It has now been 25 years since Diana lost her life in a car accident. A tragedy that occurred in Paris on August 31, 1997, when the Briton was only 36 years old. While his lifelong fans crowded onto the Alma Bridge or outside the gates of Kensington Palace to pay homage to him, one of his famous friends took to his social networks to honor his memory.
Wednesday, from his summer vacation in the south of France, Elton John has indeed relayed a souvenir photo to mark this sad anniversary. However, the singer preferred to highlight a smiling Lady Di, happily posing with him backstage at a concert given in 1993. “We will always miss you,” wrote the 75-year-old artist in the caption of its publication. A tribute in image which has not failed to delight its approximately four million subscribers.

Elton John and Diana had met in 1981 and immediately became friends. On September 6, 1997, during Diana’s funeral in London, Elton John performed a personalized version of the title “Candle In The Wind” on the piano, a song that will remain attached to this popular princess.
