Sir Elton John fans all asking the same question after Glastonbury set

Sir Elton John closed Glastonbury 2023 with what fans described as a 'legendary' performance.

During his set, Sir Elton John performed all the classics including Rocket Man (I Think It's Going to Be a Long, Long Time), Bernie and the Jets and I'm Still Standing. The huge crowd welcomed special guests including Jacob Lusk of Gabriels, Stephen Sanchez, Brandon Flowers and Rina Sawayama.

Sir Elton John told the roaring crowd that he "really appreciated" their love and support. Before he started playing on stage, he said: "I never thought I'd headline Glastonbury. This may be my last show ever in England and Great Britain so I better play well and I better entertain you."

His first special guest was Jacob Lusk of Gabriels, along with the London Community Gospel Choir to sing hit 'Are You Ready for Love'. The spine-tingling performance pleased the crowd who sang along word for word.

Then, it was US musician Stephen Sanchez, who performed a rendition of his song “Until I Found You”. The next special guest was The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers who performed 'Tiny Dancer' with Rina Sawayama finally joining Elton John for 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart'.

However, many fans were left all asking the same question - "Where is Dua Lipa?"

Elton John performed the hit pop singer's collab 'Cold Heart' on stage, with many anticipating a surprise appearance from Dua herself. Many fans were left wondering if she'd join him on stage for the peformance.

As he began the song, Elton John said: "Sadly Dua Lipa isn't here tonight." Fans took to Twitter to share their disappointment.

One tweet read: "I don't understand why dua lipa didn't come on? I heard she's at the festival?"

A second tweet read: "Dua Lipa has just put a pox on her career. She just dropped Elton Johm at #glastonbury2023 Please don't tell me she has the same hair problems as Lana del Rey."

A third said: "Dua lipa babe what on earth is more important than performing at glasto with sir elton john?"

A fourth tweet read: "Sorry what was dua lipa doing that was more important then this."
