Elton John and Ed Sheeran perform at star-studded New England Patriots owner's wedding

Sir Elton John and Ed Sheeran became wedding singers for the day as they serenaded newly-wed billionaire Robert Kraft and Dana Blumberg.

The A-list performers belted ballads at the surprise wedding ceremony in New York City on Friday night.

New England Patriots owner Robert, 81, said "I do" to ophthalmologist Dana, 47, who he began dating in 2019.

The 250 surprised guests were told that the gathering was a "Kickoff and Touchdown party", but were told to dress "festively".

Tom Brady, former Patriots quarterback, attended the star-studded celebrations but came alone.

The absence of his wife fuelled the rumours that he and Gisele Bundchen are going through a divorce.

Bon Jovi, country singer Kenny Chesney, film tycoon Ari Emanuel and Oscar-nominated film producer Brian Grazer were also unknowing wedding guests.

Dana arrived at the venue in an Elie Saab jump suit so not to alarm anyone, before switching into an ivory Naeem Khan gown for the ceremony.

Robert arrived in a blue sport jacket with a pair of Air Force 1 trainers.

He donned an Armani dinner blazer for the evening - but kept the shoes on.

In typical Elton fashion, the Tiny Dancer singer wore a flower detailed pink silk blazer with baby blue lapels that were dotted with sequins.

The shirt underneath was also pink with baby blue ruffles running from the collar.

He wore his trademark specs - which also boasted little diamonds around the frames.

Sources told The Post that the newlyweds planned their wedding around Elton, who volunteered in July to sing at the celebration.

They gave him three weeks notice and the Circle of Life singer found a date he had free.

The legendary singer kicked off his hour-long set with "Circle of Life", which was followed by "Tiny Dancer".

He and Ed also teamed up to duet "Candle in the Wind".

Ed cut a more traditional figure in a white shirt and black blazer with suit trousers.

The Shape of You singer added a pair of high tops for good measure.

After the men performed, a DJ took over and the guests partied into the early hours.

"They wanted to get in a zone of sharing happiness with one another, and bringing people together," a friend of the couple told The Post.

Their engagement in March 2022 by fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger.

Robert popped the question with a 10-carat diamond after the pair had been dating for three years.
