Elton John, known for his flamboyant performances and unwavering support for various causes, has had a close relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Their friendship has been well-documented, with recent sightings of Elton and Harry together during the mirror lawsuit scandal. However, the aftermath of Harry's humiliation in the lawsuit and the subsequent revelations of lies may have strained their bond.
Elton's farewell concert in Stockholm, marking the end of over 50 years of live performances, was an emotional affair. Surrounded by devoted fans from around the world, Elton expressed his gratitude for their unwavering support in his trademark flamboyant style.
Wearing a tailcoat adorned with rhinestones and his iconic red glasses, the 76-year-old pop star took his seat at the piano shortly after 8 pm to cheers, opening his farewell show with one of his most popular songs, "Benny and the Jets."
The absence of Harry and Meghan from Elton's farewell party has raised eyebrows and fueled speculation about their relationship. It is alleged that Elton made a conscious decision not to invite them, aiming to avoid any additional drama they might bring.
Perhaps he sensed that Meghan, in her quest for attention and the spotlight, wouldn't be able to cope with the presence of other royals, potentially creating a scene for publicity's sake.
Elton's decision speaks volumes about the perceived dynamics between him and the Sussexes. It suggests a significant rupture in their once-close friendship, possibly due to recent events and revelations surrounding Harry's legal battles.
Elton's desire to distance himself from the Sussexes, as mentioned, indicates a notable shift in their relationship.
