Fans were baffled as the Rocketman singer exited the stage at the Royal Albert Hall
Viewers of the Royal Variety were confused after Sir Elton John’s segment on the show. The legendary performer appeared on the bill at the Royal Albert Hall for the 2024 edition of the world’s longest running entertainment show.
The Rocketman singer was joined on stage by his husband, David Furnish, as they introduced a performance from his new musical, The Devil Wears Prada. The 77-year-old has composed the music for the new stage show, which is currently being performed at the Dominion Theatre in London.
Sir Elton took part in a comedy skit with main character Miranda Priestly before he departed the stage. Viewers following the show on X took to the social media platform as they anticipated the iconic musician would perform one of his hits.
Atomic said: “Is that all that Elton is going to do? A couple of sentences.” Matt took to the comments and added: “I expected Elton John to be singing tbh”

Another user said: “If you book Elton John you want him to sit at a piano and do one of decent songs.” Sir Elton announced he has retired from touring, but may still perform a one-off show.”
Sir Elton opened up on the heartfelt reason why he stepped away from performing in a new docoumentary, Elton John Never Too Late, which arrived on Disney+ on Friday. The singer is the proud dad of two sons, Zachary, 13, and Elijah, 11.
He explained in the documentary how he hopes to spend more time with his children. He said: “I don’t know how much time I have left. You think about that more when you get to my age, you think about life and death. After this tour, I don’t want to do anything. This is when you start to think about mortality.”
The musician wants to spend as much time as possible with his family as he heartbreakingly admitted he doesn’t know what stages of their life he will live to experience. He added: “They love their daddy so they want me to be around forever. I want to see my children get married and I don’t think I’m going to be around for that.
“You never know. So that’s why I want to give them the best of my time while I’m around them. Time together is so wonderful and so precious.”
