Sir Elton John has spoken out after pictures of him in a wheelchair emerged earlier this week.
Sir Elton is set to perform at the Platinum Party at the Palace tonight and has previously admitted he is in "pain most of the time" with his hip injury.
After the pictures emerged some fans were concerned he may no longer be able to perform at the jubilee event, but the star has moved to reassure fans with a strong statement on his social media.

He said: "I want to thank all my fans for reaching out to ask about my health, the true story is that I’m in top health, loving my shows and playing and singing at my very best. I give 100% every night and never want to disappoint, especially after everyone has waited so long to get back to seeing shows. Your response to every show has been phenomenal and I’m loving every minute of it.
"After another rousing 2.5 hour show, we arrived at Leipzig airport just before curfew, to find part of the airport had closed. It was an extremely long walk to get to the plane, so my team kindly laid on a wheelchair so I could rest my hip after doing the show. That’s all folks.
"Thanks for all your kind words of support! Love, Elton xx"
Earlier this afternoon Elton released another message onto his Instagram saying he was "thrilled and honoured to be part of the concert".
Sharing a photo of himself in a Royal palace Elton said: "I was thrilled and honoured to be asked to be part of the Platinum Party at the Palace. I hope you enjoy the special performance, I can't wait for you to see it. Tune in to BBC1 from 7.30pm."
