"your candle burned out long before your legend ever will". he was absolutely right it's almost 2023 and everyone here listening to that song for her. she's a real legend
This is June 2024 and this immortal song by legendary Elton John continues to be exceedingly emotional, exceptionally heart touching, enormously exclusive and elegant. This will go down as the best ever memorial song for a great lady. His singing is singularly sentimental, sad, soulful, spellbinding, superb, sincere, sweet & simply spectacular. ❤❤❤
This is the second most successful recording of all time (only behind White Christmas which had a 55 year head start). Despite that it has only been performed by Elton John on three occasions: the funeral rehearsal, the funeral, and the recording session. He has said he will never perform it for a 4th time unless explicitly asked by Diana’s sons. That is character, to have the most successful song of any living person and not perform it out of respect for your friend and her family. How many artists would do the same? Bravo Sir Elton!
@miltonramos9698 let me correct you then because I suck. I belive you meant "those concerts are unforgettable". Concert multiple is concerts, when you can't forget something it is unforgettable
Fun fact: Elton John has stated that unless he gets the blessing from Diana's sons, he will never perform this version again, though he still plays the Marilyn Monroe version in concert.
You are 99% correct. In the immediate aftermath of her death (maybe one month) he did perform it on Top of the pops. i remember distinctly. he was wearing a very gay top hat. but the rest of what u said is true
@She Wolf I don't think I'd say that he's one of the most underrated artists. He still has the record for highest selling single of all time (Which, coincidentally, is this song.), and had, if memory serves, a single in the top 100 for 40+ years. No other singer has done that.
If I remember from quotes and anecdotal shit, he basically said he disassociated his self and treated it like a performance. Which, I guess it was. It was showing Di what she meant to everyone. His performance was acting like he wasn't crying.
It was a horrible song to use it was written about Marilyn Monroe a slut whore. He edited and uses it for Prince Diana is disgusting The proper and classy thing to do is write a completely different song that's the stupidity of a homosexual! And even worse you thinking it's beautiful it was in very bad taste perhaps you don't know the difference.
The memory of her, if it persists, will hold far less historic momentum than that of Elizabeth I or Mary Queen of Scots, but she might be remembered for a couple of centuries, because history books favour royal families more than the common people.
I know how extremely difficult it was for Elton to get through this song without breaking down and I will be forever thankful to him for singing this for our Beloved Diana. I miss her so much. ❤️💐 Much love from 🇺🇸.
@@andym2345 I can't recall which interview it was, Andy, but I know he did quite a few. One with 20/20, one with Oprah, one with 60 Minutes etc. I remember him saying that he also had to read a teleprompter because he was afraid he's slip and sing the words of Candle In The Wind.
@@bigjohn6475 I think not singing Candle In The Wind would have been the hardest part for me. Replacing a song like that you've sung a million times with a song with words written a few days before, but to the exact same music. I can't imagine being able to do that.
No man in history has been under as much pressure than Elton at that moment. And he gave us this wonderful performance,, singin to one of his best friends,, Diana. Abselutely beautyful❤❤❤
yeah, like the guys whole got the medal of honor for combat action have not been under such pressure. They were just risking their life under enemy fire to save their wounded comrades, much less pressure than Elton John was under.
@@ljlj5703 listen to a podcast called “you’re wrong about” they have a 5 part series about Diana and the last one they basically put all conspiracy theories to bed.
@@angelatapara8378 No, he said he will never sing it again. Even if Prince William or Harry will ask them because it's connected with too many feelings for him.
Professionalism. Elton himself said that in an interview, he was asked about that and he knew what his purpose was and so he went out there and did it. Very difficult indeed for him.
If Diana was alive today, I was ill back in February and I could have met her. But she wouldn’t have known that I’m just loved as her; everyone in Wales says I’m a great Queen to them and I can’t wait for my birthday
I don't know why I needed to hear this today. Maybe because in the state of chaos that the world is currently in, we desperately need our People's Princess to be here to make things okay again. The woman was timeless, and her legend will live in our hearts and minds for generations. Thank you, Elton. This was absolutely...phenomenal. It was truly the perfect tribute to the Princess that was loved around the world, and will be for many years to come. May we all have some of Princess Diana's quiet grace and understanding, and her compassion for everyone around her.
As a foreigner, even at that time struck by the tragic death of the beloved Princess, I cannot but admire the dignity, composure and civilization of the people and the environment on this occasion, as well as the perfect and professional performance of this splendid Song by the Great Elton John
I used to think that until the events of last year, and this happened earlier this year... th-cam.com/video/SFzF0u6hgvs/w-d-xo.html (For those of you who don't want to click without knowing, Per Gessle performing "It Must Have Been Love" in tribute to the death of Marie Fredriksson. Together, they formed the Swedish pop sensation Roxette, more popular abroad then in the States, but I loved them more than any other group i likely ever will)
Roy Goode ,not a childish opinion....a very perceptive opinion for a child. I’m 51, still think this is the best live version of any song. This holds special memories for me......the day of the funeral was the day I married my husband.......22 years ago this year.
How Elton managed to sing that song, about his good friend, with totally re-written lyrics of an original song he has performed a thousand times before, without autocue or sheet written lyrics, self-accompanied and live with perhaps billions of people around the world watching is totally remarkable! A faultless performance by an absolute living legend of a musician!
I agree. What’s more, this live version sounded so much better than the re-recorded version too. Most likely due to acoustics of the venue, as well as the raw emotion during this specific performance.
I can’t hear this song without choking up. That must have been the hardest thing for Elton to do. And the fact that only one month earlier he grieved the death of Versace. He held himself perfectly and honoured Diana with absolute dignity and respect.
I remember watching this live, being 1000s miles away it was so touching. I listen to it today and wonder what she would think of the world today! She worked so hard to show us that there are good people out there.
This is absolutely beautiful. I was very young when Princess Diana passed away but watching this makes me feel like I was there. The emotion and atmosphere Elton creates with this song is just incredible.
I was also very young. My mum used to listen to the radio throughout the night...and I remember hearing in the early hours that she'd been in an accident...and it wasn't until I woke up in the morning that, despite being so young, I realised the devastating impact of her death. Such a huge loss!
@@fionafrance6181 Mummy was only 18 when Diana died in 1997. Little did Mummy know that she’d become Mummy, Princess of Wales 25 years later. I didn’t think Woody.EXE would go this far but he did anyway and he did the right thing by carrying Diana’s legacy on like I have 6 years ago at Remembrance Sunday. I can’t believe this will be my 6th year running the service of Remembrance and I’ll be gutted if I can’t go
For some reason, this is the song I come to for comfort in dealing with depression, or grief. This was done very, very, very well. Salute to Elton and his long-term musical collaborator Bernie Taupin was blessing our lives with this masterpiece.
To give a live performance like this, play it flawlessly, and sing without breaking down - and in front of perhaps half the world watching is incredible. Elton is one of the best in the music industry ever in my opinion - and liked by everyone.
I think going through a lot of the personal issues and drug/alcohol addiction when he was young, that many pop stars deal with, then coming through clean and sober with his health, helped him become a better person. So many pop/rock stars are ego maniacs with no humility, and destroy themselves beyond the point of return. Elton weathered that storm and came through a wonderful human being.
@@oasis4life014 "Hazza, its Wills. Got bad news bro, Grandad's murdered Mum. . . . Yeah. Ikr, proper harsh. But it gets worse. You know Elton John right . . . ?"
You occupy a nanosecond and can know nothing whatsoever about "all human history." It would be far truer to say that your comment displays more contemptible ignorance than anyone in my culture has ever witnessed.
I have always wondered that too. I mean, I started crying when this started playing. And he knew her in person, they were close friends. I always admired his composure, was that me, I would be singing through tears.
It’s coming up to the 26th Anniversary of Diana’s death and Mummy says I’ve been acting funny because I’m trying yo distract myself from it but it’s not working. I dread Woody.EXE’s memorial service in 5 days and I know he’ll do so well. It will be a huge honour to be on stage in front of millions of Diana’s fans there and I’ll try my best not to lose it
Goodbye England's rose May you ever grow in our hearts You were the grace that placed itself Where lives were torn apart You called out to our country And you whispered to those in pain Now you belong to heaven And the stars spell out your name And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset When the rain set in And your footsteps will always fall here Along England's greenest hills Your candle's burned out long before Your legend ever will Loveliness we've lost These empty days without your smile This torch we'll always carry For our nation's golden child And even though we try The truth brings us to tears All our words cannot express The joy you brought us through the years And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset When the rain set in And your footsteps will always fall here Along England's greenest hills Your candle's burned our long before Your legend ever will Goodbye England's rose May you ever grow in our hearts You were the grace that placed itself Where lives were torn apart Goodbye England's rose From a country lost without your soul Who'll miss the wings of your compassion More than you'll ever know And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset When the rain set in And your footsteps will always fall here Along England's greenest hills Your candle's burned out long before Your legend ever will
He was just absolutely unbelievably good last week at his farewell in the Boston area . UNBELIEVABLE show!! So powerful !!! he is in a lot of pain with his hip yet he put on an amazingly strong show. We were all blown away . ELLLLLLLLLTONNNNN we LOVE you!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was teenager in CA with zero care about the British royal family, but I’ll never forget where I was when I heard that Princess Diana died. Talk about the entire world mourning. She was so loved from the public. Where there was so much dislike for the royal family, Diana was seen as the peoples princess. An average person thrown into a world or royalty and responsibility. She rose to the occasion….In 8th grade my teacher showed Diana’s wedding to Prince Charles to my class and went into great detail about the wedding. I remember her mentioning that there were tiny embroidered bees sewn into her wedding dress because Diana loved bees. The world mourned for her. The entire world.
@@jasondownsnet She was born a commoner. That's why she struck a chord with the rest of the world. She was one of us, and she never forgot where she came from, nor the people that helped her reach that lofty pedestal we put her on.
One of the best live performances ever with Charles Spencer’s speech, one of the best speeches ever immediately after, 20/15 minutes I will never forget
those eyelids were pregnant with tears, his throat sure lumped and suppressing wave of emotions for sure - yet the most perfect rendition ever in my opinion.. LEGEND
25 years ago we lost Diana. Now it is time to bid farewell to Queen Elizabeth. I am awed how Elton ever could perform that song so beautifully. Must have been an emotional rollercoaster.
Yes, today very much has that same feel. No other day in recent times has felt the same. The same week that Diana died, Mother Teresa did also. That made things even sadder
I remember coming downstairs the day she died... I walked in the living room and the floor was covered with every single newspaper available to buy and my mum just said, "she's dead" - and she'd been sobbing, reading every single paper. Still makes me feel emotional thinking about it - I was only 11! This compassion coming from a woman who was born with absolutely nothing. Just goes to show how much the country loved Princess Diana, rich or poor.
SmithyD86 Same! Still remember being a similar age and my mum running into my room opening my curtains saying “she died she died”. I went downstairs and on the tv it was just breaking news on all channels.
26 Years later and the Real Queen Diana is still well and alive in our hearts, and forevermore will be. Your bright light shines through and brings comfort to our hearts knowing you're still here blessing us with your love and kindness 💝
How could you possibly know how old I am? Try not to be such an presumptuous blowhard before making a comment: you'll look back and be less embarrassed. I stand by my comment. This is overrated dreck deifying a halfwit Sloan ranger. I'm old enough to recall watching the baffling grief fest that accompanied this event. It was ridiculous then and it's even more so now. You've contributed nothing.
This is one of the few songs in my opinion that the live version is the best version. I watched this funeral live at 4am local time for me at age 11 and this was my first ever experience listening to Elton John and I've loved him ever since.
R.I.P. Princess Diana. Sr. Elton is a master! Each finger touch on the piano and each word was soflty carefully choosed and used on point in perfect overwhelmed seconds of this masterpiece song!
Siempre dijo que nunca la tocará en vivo para que la gente que quiera tener el CD de la canción tenga que pagar, en su momento, 10 libras esterlinas, y ese dinero se usó para las obras de beneficio que la princesa Diana llevaba adelante.
@@alonewithoutyoubymyside3936 I did a tribute to the Queen at Remembrance last week and I’ll never do it again because it distressed me. I even made my beloved Woody.EXE cry and he hugged me the whole time
Just incredible that this song has only been performed three times. Rehearsal, in the studio and at the funeral. This has to be one of the most amazing live performances ever.
Erm, he said that after the funeral, he would only ever play it again if “her boys” asked her to. At the “concert for Diana” when they were seen talking with him, i thought “oh, they are asking him to play the song,” but no, he played something else. I was surprised and slightly disappointed at the same time, but i respect it’s their decision, not mine.
Goodbye England's rose. May you ever grow in our hearts. You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart. You called out to our country, and you whispered to those in pain. Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name. And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind, never fading with the sunset when the rain set in. And your footsteps will always fall here, along England's greenest hills; Your candle's burned out long before your legend ever will. Loveliness we've lost, these empty days without your smile. This torch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child. And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears; All our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years. Goodbye England's rose, from a country lost without your soul, Who'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know. Sung so memorably by her friend, Elton John
Tearful eyes especially now if you are a lot more awake than you were 20 yrs ago. All I can think now from the start of this video is "these people are sick"! Just thinking how evil these people really are. Just think how these people (the elites) planned her death. Do you really think the Queen really wanted Diana around? If you are confused on that, there are plenty of research videos right here on YT. Again, my only answer to this now is THESE PEOPLE ARE SICK!
@@danielledufresne502 wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they did that ??????????????????????????????????? they are cold hearted and stuck-up
Danielle Dufresne yes exactly, so many people in my circle of friends all know about this and the evil power hungry Royal family. They don’t even need to have their assets valued. So in truth they make the rich people we know like Bill Gates look like a beggar. Same with the Rothschild family their true wealth is in the many Trillions and they built their entire fortune on deception, manipulation and blood. Elton knows this but can’t speak out and it’s hard to blame him. Thanks to the internet and different unbiased platforms people are indeed awake to all these horrible atrocities. The elites really trying to destroy countries identity. If you want to honour your countries values you are labeled a racist. Stay strong England, sending love from Australia
I was 27, remember this moment. I’m 54 now. He got this right … every word, she was truly one of the best. You can’t replicate her. She lived a life full of greatness. She was grace , beautiful, perfection.
To hit all those notes from 4:05 to 4:10 shows just how good Elton John really is. A live performance HAS to be done right, especially at such an occasion as this, and he nailed it perfectly. I would have been a nervous wreck and he was as comfortable as if he were washing dishes. This is one of the best live performances in all of music history for the most beautiful Diana, taken from us much too soon.
I'm just some black kid from brooklyn who mostly likes hip-hop, but I like to watch masters at work. And this performance, in this setting and how serious it was, shows a true master at work. Incredible.
I remember this like it was yesterday, Sir Elton John is a wonderful performer and his tribute to Lady Diana is one of my favorite songs by him. May she rest in eternal peace.
Elton is the GOAT. I could never have done what he did without breaking down, the bereavement far too much to bear. I'm watching it in a video and using a whole box of Kleenex. Such a beautiful, humble, young and kind woman, taken from us far too soon. Faith, hope, love; all are qualities invulnerable to the grave. They have their beginnings in a soul that endures. We will always love you Princess Di.
She wasn't just England's Princess she was truly as they say The People's Princess. My favorite lines of the song are "And you whispered to those in pain now you belong to heaven and the stars spell out your name." and also the line "We'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know."
I wasn't born but I feel the pain of losing her she should still be standing with us now as she's our princess even more the people's queen it brakes me heart knowing they killed her of for sure she was a Devine soul to this world
My life was torn apart and my heart cries every single moment when I put on Dear Eltons song" Candle in the Wind". I will never forget Diana's wedding day when I was in the UK watching it on Television at my cousins place. I am an ex British Airways Flight Attendant and have a soft spot in my heart for that Country. RIP Diana. You are in heaven with the Angels and with Mother Theresa with whom you did have very close connections with the work she did. We will never see or have a beautiful ANGEL like DIana on earth or in this universe again. You are very much missed very very dearly in this world and Universe. Love you Ann 😇❤❤🩹❤❤🩹
We miss her,the england,sweden,and many more countries all over the world,Diana you ,were love,beautiful and God wanted you back.Thinking of you and the words you often said with love.Thinking as a mother of two fine boys.And noone else.Thank you Elton you have a heart of Gold❤❤❤❤.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She did? I didn't know that. I thought she was just an adulterous airhead who parted her thighs to anyone willing to give her attention or cash, like that frizzy haired Al Fayed guy.
Biggest mass hysteria nonsense I’ve ever seen in my life, over someone who most people didn’t give a shit about. Once she died everyone seemed to know her. She was never a victim of msm . She used it when it suited her.
i thought the funeral was on tv on Sunday later in September 1997 like 21st or 28th, cant believe it was 6th September on Saturday talk about quick arrangements, i was 10 years old and watched it in full i thought all day, did they show the whole funeral again on repeat on Sunday morning all day, it was emotional, maybe i got mixed up on the day and time or was i living in a parallel universe.
@Christopher Aldrich I'm From UK it really odd for me as i though Candle in the Wind 1997 come out before funeral, but i think i must be misleaded or mistaking judging by the online story's, i did watch the funeral back in 1997, but honestly thought it was late September not the start of September on Sunday, also that was quick setup from Sunday 31st August to Saturday 6th for all the preparations, what a job and everyone acting really fast for the service.
@Christopher Aldrich do you agree, did you thought it was a another date they shown the funeral then, because i thought it was a few weeks after she sadly died, it took place, or did they simply repeat the full funeral again on TV in UK on Sunday after.
I’m crying watching this. Elton John lose his beloved friend Gianni Versace in July 97’ and in August of the same year (a month apart) Diana passed away, both tragic deaths. My respect
This has to be Elton’s finest vocal performance ever! The depth, emotion and beauty in his voice is incomparable here. Always sends shivers down my spine.
I was in the crowd by St Paul's cathedral on her wedding day and saw her arriving in her carriage. My strongest memory of her funeral was those poor little boys walking behind her coffin and a wreath of white roses saying "Mummy". It was a brutal thing to make them walk so far like that.
Charles made them do it, such a shame, poor kids lost their mum and they are being paraded. We all miss her and will never forget her ive never met her but my father has as he was in the queens guards
her brother said he was told they wanted to walk only to find out later they never did want to Diana would be outraged that they were put through that whoever had that bright idea should take a look at themselves Harry was 12 and struggled for years after Will was just 15
Miss Diana so much. I’m in Salt Lake City, Utah on 5/7/24 and still so sad about the tragic end to her life. I do know that she’s with Jesus and God the Father and God the Holy Ghost and all the angels. ❤️🙏✝️
You are the grace that placed yourself where lives are torn apart.. such a fitting statement for Princess Diana. She was a beautiful soul, so full of compassion and love for everyone. It’s heartbreaking that her husband didn’t return her love. She would have made such a beautiful Queen of England.
In early September, John asked Taupin to revise the lyrics of their 1973 song "Candle in the Wind" to honour Diana, and Taupin agreed. On 6 September 1997, John performed "Candle in the Wind 1997" live for the only time at Diana's funeral in Westminster Abbey. The song became the fastest and biggest-selling single of all time, eventually selling over 33 million copies globally. The best-selling single in UK chart history, and the best-selling single in Billboard history, it is the first single certified Diamond in the US where it sold over 11 million copies. The 2009 Guinness World Records states it is "the biggest-selling single since UK and US singles charts began in the 1950s, having accumulated worldwide sales of 33 million copies"
you know its serious business when elton john is wearing regular glasses.
sur-taka
Lol. It would be a “little too out there” if shows up in a funeral wearing his purple star shaped glasses.
Haha... i just realized that. It's funny
At the expense of mirth...you are at the borderline of mirth and seriousness. I will let you slide on this one.
Serious the guy is allusive a filthy trend of perversion. No different than a person lost in drugs.

"your candle burned out long before your legend ever will". he was absolutely right it's almost 2023 and everyone here listening to that song for her. she's a real legend

hello how are you doing, how long have you been a fan of mine?
No
Give me a break
You occupy a nanosecond and can know nothing whatsoever about "all human history."
Agree
Now her two sons are older than she was when she lost her life. What could have been we will never know. What an enormous loss to the world.
Fun Fact:
Elton only sang this song 3 times. At a rehearsal, in a studio and here in the video.
'Fun' was not the most appropriate word for that situation.
@@MrChannel2010 yeah, but its still pretty interesting
@@goombatroopa5110 he’s talking about this version.
And he’s said he will sing this version again ONLY at the request of Prince William or Harry x
@@angelatapara8378 No, he said he will never sing it again. Even if Prince William or Harry will ask them because it's connected with too many feelings for him.
How the hell he remained so composed that he could do this live is unfathomable.
You are so right when Princes Diane died I remembered seeing it on the news. I cry every time I watch this video.
He lost it a couple times, but held his composure tremendously.
You can tell in his face that it wasn't easy.
That’s a true musician for you. Singing when you’re on the verge of tears and feeling the sorrow wash over is incredibly difficult.
After seeing Rocketman, you understand
Professionalism. Elton himself said that in an interview, he was asked about that and he knew what his purpose was and so he went out there and did it. Very difficult indeed for him.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it because it brings me back to this very moment. Continue to rest, Princess Diana. 🕯️🕊🙏🏽♥️
❤❤❤...me too😢
If Diana was alive today, I was ill back in February and I could have met her. But she wouldn’t have known that I’m just loved as her; everyone in Wales says I’m a great Queen to them and I can’t wait for my birthday
I wasn’t expecting this today the reaction came out the blue I’m crying my heart out she was the princess of wales and I live in wales
I watched that day and it was very much sad
@@tanyathomas4584o
I don't know why I needed to hear this today. Maybe because in the state of chaos that the world is currently in, we desperately need our People's Princess to be here to make things okay again. The woman was timeless, and her legend will live in our hearts and minds for generations. Thank you, Elton. This was absolutely...phenomenal. It was truly the perfect tribute to the Princess that was loved around the world, and will be for many years to come. May we all have some of Princess Diana's quiet grace and understanding, and her compassion for everyone around her.
My mom was just days away from giving birth to me and she named me Elton after watching this tribute song by Elton John
👌
I feel sorry for you. You can still amend this by deed poll
Slawek Soja is that really coming from someone with the name slawek 😬😬 embarrassing
That's the most precious thing
I was named after Elton Welsby
22 years ago and I am still get emotional for this song
Soilent Diva still get emotional every time I hear this song
same, i cried to this as a child
Me too. In tears listening to this. Just like I was when I watched it on tv when I was 17.
YUP ALWAYS SAD WHEN A WOMAN AND MOTHER PASSES AWAY....
Me too 😢
I still miss Diana 💖
47 day earlier Princess Diana was consoling Elton for his loss, 47 days later Elton singing at Princess Diana's Funeral 💔💔💔
Diana Was truly a queen
As a foreigner, even at that time struck by the tragic death of the beloved Princess, I cannot but admire the dignity, composure and civilization of the people and the environment on this occasion, as well as the perfect and professional performance of this splendid Song by the Great Elton John
Considering the circumstances probably the best live performance ever..
I used to think that until the events of last year, and this happened earlier this year... th-cam.com/video/SFzF0u6hgvs/w-d-xo.html
(For those of you who don't want to click without knowing, Per Gessle performing "It Must Have Been Love" in tribute to the death of Marie Fredriksson. Together, they formed the Swedish pop sensation Roxette, more popular abroad then in the States, but I loved them more than any other group i likely ever will)
As a kid I said that same thing to my father... 40 yrs old now and I stand by my childish opinion.
Roy Goode ,not a childish opinion....a very perceptive opinion for a child. I’m 51, still think this is the best live version of any song. This holds special memories for me......the day of the funeral was the day I married my husband.......22 years ago this year.
PROBABLY THE MOST DISARANGED RENDEZVOUS. I HAVE SEEN.
YOU HAVEN'T WALKED ON WATER some people have.
How Elton managed to sing that song, about his good friend, with totally re-written lyrics of an original song he has performed a thousand times before, without autocue or sheet written lyrics, self-accompanied and live with perhaps billions of people around the world watching is totally remarkable! A faultless performance by an absolute living legend of a musician!
Yes it was
Ice in his veins
He is such as a Brilliant singer! Wish Freddie Mercury was still alive on 1997 Maybe Freddie and elton will duet while singing candle in the wind.
I agree. What’s more, this live version sounded so much better than the re-recorded version too. Most likely due to acoustics of the venue, as well as the raw emotion during this specific performance.
IKR I was thinking the same thing. They was really close friends. My voice would have been cracking all over the place.
I can’t hear this song without choking up. That must have been the hardest thing for Elton to do. And the fact that only one month earlier he grieved the death of Versace. He held himself perfectly and honoured Diana with absolute dignity and respect.
I remember watching this live, being 1000s miles away it was so touching. I listen to it today and wonder what she would think of the world today! She worked so hard to show us that there are good people out there.
"Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name." What a line.
Amen
That line always hits me hard
Can't wait until we can see all our loved ones again. There will be so many people to hug again so many wonderful places to see. Joy forever more 💖
Sabree, won't that just be lovely 💔❤️
fabulous
The most beautiful thing is that he has never sung this song live ever again since this day.
Jack Collinson
Jack Collinson agreed
He will only do it again if Prince William and Prince Harry ask him to do it.
Which song because he sang it at the concert
@@RandyLos1994 Candle In The Wind 1997.
This is absolutely beautiful. I was very young when Princess Diana passed away but watching this makes me feel like I was there. The emotion and atmosphere Elton creates with this song is just incredible.
Too emotiona❤l
I was also very young. My mum used to listen to the radio throughout the night...and I remember hearing in the early hours that she'd been in an accident...and it wasn't until I woke up in the morning that, despite being so young, I realised the devastating impact of her death. Such a huge loss!
@@fionafrance6181
Mummy was only 18 when Diana died in 1997. Little did Mummy know that she’d become Mummy, Princess of Wales 25 years later. I didn’t think Woody.EXE would go this far but he did anyway and he did the right thing by carrying Diana’s legacy on like I have 6 years ago at Remembrance Sunday. I can’t believe this will be my 6th year running the service of Remembrance and I’ll be gutted if I can’t go
For some reason, this is the song I come to for comfort in dealing with depression, or grief. This was done very, very, very well. Salute to Elton and his long-term musical collaborator Bernie Taupin was blessing our lives with this masterpiece.
The Queen of Hearts would have turned 59 years today
You'll be in our hearts forever, your Majesty ❤🌹
She was so young.
Also here in the Netherlands we loved here. ❤
The Queen of Hearts. I like that.
Too bad Elizabeth killed her
Thing is she wouldn't be royalty.
The Queen almost didn't let her have HRH on her tombstone
To give a live performance like this, play it flawlessly, and sing without breaking down - and in front of perhaps half the world watching is incredible. Elton is one of the best in the music industry ever in my opinion - and liked by everyone.
I agree with you 100%!!!
💯
I think going through a lot of the personal issues and drug/alcohol addiction when he was young, that many pop stars deal with, then coming through clean and sober with his health, helped him become a better person. So many pop/rock stars are ego maniacs with no humility, and destroy themselves beyond the point of return. Elton weathered that storm and came through a wonderful human being.
In my opinion he is at least at the top 5 of the greatest in music history of mankind ever.
For me, the very best musician
Princesses Diana may not have got to be Queen, but she's more than a Queen in heaven 😢
The greatest live performance ever considering the importance and how well he sang it
No
@@BeatlesFan1975name a better one, bum troll
Not even close to BTS performance at United Nations headquarter!
The saddest part was that the two young sons who lost their mother.
So why all the pretend public grief, when it should have been about the family?
Because the two young boys was forced into being there.... t

I have never been so delighted to see Elton honor Diana like this. Absolutely beautiful to honor the Princess. 💖💕

I love that last phrase # your legend ever will# ..RIP England Rose
Princess Diana‘s legend will go on in the hearts and memories of the people
How the hell did he sing this without breaking down in tears?
Why are tears necessary? Grief is a complex psychological process, of which tears are only a small part.
You can kinda see he’s trying not to cry
Probably numb and he was pissed. He was so pissed at the royal family
@@delilasloan8914 And precisely how do you know this?
I have always wondered that too. I mean, I started crying when this started playing. And he knew her in person, they were close friends. I always admired his composure, was that me, I would be singing through tears.
One of the greatest live performances of a song ever. Historic and incredible.
It’s halfway through 2023 & she’s still a legend ❤❤❤ We will always love princess Diana 💐 👑💕
It’s coming up to the 26th Anniversary of Diana’s death and Mummy says I’ve been acting funny because I’m trying yo distract myself from it but it’s not working. I dread Woody.EXE’s memorial service in 5 days and I know he’ll do so well. It will be a huge honour to be on stage in front of millions of Diana’s fans there and I’ll try my best not to lose it
Amazing that he didn't stumble on the lyrics having sang the original version 10,000 times. Elton is a class act.
LAtvFan love him
I dare say he practised
Define a 'class act'?
LAtvFan it must have been hard to keep himself together. It looked like he was about to lose it
I think it's something akin to a school play
Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
You called out to our country
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will
Loveliness we've lost
These empty days without your smile
This torch we'll always carry
For our nation's golden child
And even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned our long before
Your legend ever will
Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
Goodbye England's rose
From a country lost without your soul
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you'll ever know
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will
Thank you so much for the lyrics!
This brings me to tears... so painful
Valeu irmão! Ctz q tu é br
Amen
😭😭😭😭😭Diana forever
How he sang and performed this with such grace and compassion etc, I believe this was sir Elton's finest hour. R.i.p lady Diana.
I'm American and this broke me then and still to this day!
No auto tune...no computers.....no fake background.....this is what you call a real artist!
Coming to Australia I think next month.
Yes the live performance was not, but you can't know if it was auto-tuned after release (the video we just saw).
I agree

He was just absolutely unbelievably good last week at his farewell in the Boston area . UNBELIEVABLE show!! So powerful !!! he is in a lot of pain with his hip yet he put on an amazingly strong show. We were all blown away . ELLLLLLLLLTONNNNN we LOVE you!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
25 years, and still a kick in the chest.
Telling me how old I am now yeah :/
Me too how can such a kind and gentle person Diana she did good and she's still doing good praying for us
Doesn't it just..... :o(
I was teenager in CA with zero care about the British royal family, but I’ll never forget where I was when I heard that Princess Diana died. Talk about the entire world mourning. She was so loved from the public. Where there was so much dislike for the royal family, Diana was seen as the peoples princess. An average person thrown into a world or royalty and responsibility. She rose to the occasion….In 8th grade my teacher showed Diana’s wedding to Prince Charles to my class and went into great detail about the wedding. I remember her mentioning that there were tiny embroidered bees sewn into her wedding dress because Diana loved bees. The world mourned for her. The entire world.
@@jasondownsnet She was born a commoner. That's why she struck a chord with the rest of the world. She was one of us, and she never forgot where she came from, nor the people that helped her reach that lofty pedestal we put her on.
One of the best live performances ever with Charles Spencer’s speech, one of the best speeches ever immediately after, 20/15 minutes I will never forget
those eyelids were pregnant with tears, his throat sure lumped and suppressing wave of emotions for sure - yet the most perfect rendition ever in my opinion.. LEGEND
Yes
25 years ago we lost Diana. Now it is time to bid farewell to Queen Elizabeth. I am awed how Elton ever could perform that song so beautifully. Must have been an emotional rollercoaster.
I'm glad your here :( what a time
Yes 2 saddest days of my life Diana and now the Queen 😪
🥹
Yes, today very much has that same feel. No other day in recent times has felt the same. The same week that Diana died, Mother Teresa did also. That made things even sadder
Ano bang papel Ng queen or king sa govt nila?
I remember coming downstairs the day she died... I walked in the living room and the floor was covered with every single newspaper available to buy and my mum just said, "she's dead" - and she'd been sobbing, reading every single paper. Still makes me feel emotional thinking about it - I was only 11! This compassion coming from a woman who was born with absolutely nothing. Just goes to show how much the country loved Princess Diana, rich or poor.
SmithyD86 Same! Still remember being a similar age and my mum running into my room opening my curtains saying “she died she died”. I went downstairs and on the tv it was just breaking news on all channels.
Yup, my mum came into my room when I was little and told me and my brothers. Was really weird.
I was 11 in 1997 too and it was the first time I ever saw my dad cry
Yeah my mom was also crying. Didn't understand it at that age. Now i do
I was only 7 in 1997 when I saw this funeral live on TV. It was heartbreaking to watch
26 Years later and the Real Queen Diana is still well and alive in our hearts, and forevermore will be. Your bright light shines through and brings comfort to our hearts knowing you're still here blessing us with your love and kindness 💝
Nach all den vielen Jahren, berührt mich dieser Song immer noch so tief, das ich weinen muss, wenn ich ihn höre..

This is one of the few songs in my opinion that the live version is the best version. I watched this funeral live at 4am local time for me at age 11 and this was my first ever experience listening to Elton John and I've loved him ever since.
R.I.P. Princess Diana. Sr. Elton is a master! Each finger touch on the piano and each word was soflty carefully choosed and used on point in perfect overwhelmed seconds of this masterpiece song!
Elton has never performed this again. This was truly one of the most moving performances ever .
He did the studio version of this song the next day. But the live version at the funeral was the best.
He said he never will again either unless William or Harry ask him too.
Siempre dijo que nunca la tocará en vivo para que la gente que quiera tener el CD de la canción tenga que pagar, en su momento, 10 libras esterlinas, y ese dinero se usó para las obras de beneficio que la princesa Diana llevaba adelante.
he literally performed this at his concert i went to a month ago
@@alonewithoutyoubymyside3936
I did a tribute to the Queen at Remembrance last week and I’ll never do it again because it distressed me. I even made my beloved Woody.EXE cry and he hugged me the whole time
I was there during the funeral.. he did his best. I cried.....
Princess Diana, you are sorely missed ❤ Rest easy 2024
.
and may Dodi rest easy , too . 🌿

Just incredible that this song has only been performed three times. Rehearsal, in the studio and at the funeral. This has to be one of the most amazing live performances ever.
Erm, he said that after the funeral, he would only ever play it again if “her boys” asked her to.
At the “concert for Diana” when they were seen talking with him, i thought “oh, they are asking him to play the song,” but no, he played something else.
I was surprised and slightly disappointed at the same time, but i respect it’s their decision, not mine.
I remember watching it live that day. My mom and I watched the whole funeral, we loved Diana so much.

Tearful eyes especially now if you are a lot more awake than you were 20 yrs ago. All I can think now from the start of this video is "these people are sick"! Just thinking how evil these people really are. Just think how these people (the elites) planned her death. Do you really think the Queen really wanted Diana around? If you are confused on that, there are plenty of research videos right here on YT. Again, my only answer to this now is THESE PEOPLE ARE SICK!

Danielle Dufresne yes exactly, so many people in my circle of friends all know about this and the evil power hungry Royal family. They don’t even need to have their assets valued. So in truth they make the rich people we know like Bill Gates look like a beggar.
Same with the Rothschild family their true wealth is in the many Trillions and they built their entire fortune on deception, manipulation and blood.
Elton knows this but can’t speak out and it’s hard to blame him.
Thanks to the internet and different unbiased platforms people are indeed awake to all these horrible atrocities.
The elites really trying to destroy countries identity. If you want to honour your countries values you are labeled a racist.
Stay strong England, sending love from Australia
I was 27, remember this moment. I’m 54 now. He got this right … every word, she was truly one of the best. You can’t replicate her. She lived a life full of greatness. She was grace , beautiful, perfection.
To hit all those notes from 4:05 to 4:10 shows just how good Elton John really is. A live performance HAS to be done right, especially at such an occasion as this, and he nailed it perfectly. I would have been a nervous wreck and he was as comfortable as if he were washing dishes. This is one of the best live performances in all of music history for the most beautiful Diana, taken from us much too soon.
"your candles burned out long before your legend ever will", and in 2020 her legend is alive and well. RIP darling Diana, the Queen of Hearts. ❤️😘🙏👑
It is precisely just that: legend. In reality, she achieved very little.

She truly was a great soul. It’s so unfortunate. She did so much for people and suffered so much behind the scenes.

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Elton is the GOAT. I could never have done what he did without breaking down, the bereavement far too much to bear. I'm watching it in a video and using a whole box of Kleenex. Such a beautiful, humble, young and kind woman, taken from us far too soon. Faith, hope, love; all are qualities invulnerable to the grave. They have their beginnings in a soul that endures. We will always love you Princess Di.

I still cry after all these years. She wasn't just England's rose, she belonged to the entire world
Me as well. I stayed up all night crying my eyes out watching the funeral.
She did? I didn't know that. I thought she was just an adulterous airhead who parted her thighs to anyone willing to give her attention or cash, like that frizzy haired Al Fayed guy.
As a Canadian I agree 100%
Same here 😢
Biggest mass hysteria nonsense I’ve ever seen in my life, over someone who most people didn’t give a shit about. Once she died everyone seemed to know her. She was never a victim of msm . She used it when it suited her.
Candle in the wind by " Elton John" is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.
i thought the funeral was on tv on Sunday later in September 1997 like 21st or 28th, cant believe it was 6th September on Saturday talk about quick arrangements, i was 10 years old and watched it in full i thought all day, did they show the whole funeral again on repeat on Sunday morning all day, it was emotional, maybe i got mixed up on the day and time or was i living in a parallel universe.
@Christopher Aldrich England
@Christopher Aldrich I'm From UK it really odd for me as i though Candle in the Wind 1997 come out before funeral, but i think i must be misleaded or mistaking judging by the online story's, i did watch the funeral back in 1997, but honestly thought it was late September not the start of September on Sunday, also that was quick setup from Sunday 31st August to Saturday 6th for all the preparations, what a job and everyone acting really fast for the service.
@Christopher Aldrich do you agree, did you thought it was a another date they shown the funeral then, because i thought it was a few weeks after she sadly died, it took place, or did they simply repeat the full funeral again on TV in UK on Sunday after.

I remember seeing this on TV when I was 5. My family was so sad 😔
Fantastic voice...fantastic piano performance
This has to be Elton’s finest vocal performance ever! The depth, emotion and beauty in his voice is incomparable here. Always sends shivers down my spine.
Maravilhoso emocionante cecilia sao paulo
I would have sang just the same if I'd lost my Aunt!
You are correct Sr John is a true singer, his voice comfort many 💕
His retirement is a loss and his farewell tour is just adding to his legend!
We will miss him performing. I hope he continues.
I was in the crowd by St Paul's cathedral on her wedding day and saw her arriving in her carriage. My strongest memory of her funeral was those poor little boys walking behind her coffin and a wreath of white roses saying "Mummy". It was a brutal thing to make them walk so far like that.
Sweet memories never fade.

Charles made them do it, such a shame, poor kids lost their mum and they are being paraded. We all miss her and will never forget her ive never met her but my father has as he was in the queens guards
Were our tears for the passing or the young boys?
her brother said he was told they wanted to walk only to find out later they never did want to Diana would be outraged that they were put through that whoever had that bright idea should take a look at themselves Harry was 12 and struggled for years after Will was just 15
Miss Diana so much. I’m in Salt Lake City, Utah on 5/7/24 and still so sad about the tragic end to her life. I do know that she’s with Jesus and God the Father and God the Holy Ghost and all the angels. ❤️🙏✝️

He stared at the casket and sung and amazingly did not stumble for lyrics
yeet grenade pure heart pouring out
Actually he had a teleprompter because he was afraid of messing up the lyrics.
Diana had such a kind heart for gay men and they returned that affection, along with the rest of the world.
You are the grace that placed yourself where lives are torn apart.. such a fitting statement for Princess Diana. She was a beautiful soul, so full of compassion and love for everyone. It’s heartbreaking that her husband didn’t return her love. She would have made such a beautiful Queen of England.
In early September, John asked Taupin to revise the lyrics of their 1973 song "Candle in the Wind" to honour Diana, and Taupin agreed. On 6 September 1997, John performed "Candle in the Wind 1997" live for the only time at Diana's funeral in Westminster Abbey.
The song became the fastest and biggest-selling single of all time, eventually selling over 33 million copies globally.
The best-selling single in UK chart history, and the best-selling single in Billboard history, it is the first single certified Diamond in the US where it sold over 11 million copies.
The 2009 Guinness World Records states it is "the biggest-selling single since UK and US singles charts began in the 1950s, having accumulated worldwide sales of 33 million copies"
Thank you for some perspective on this beautiful performance ❤️

Two huge loses, world misses you, rest in peace 😥
and on July 15, 1997 Gianni Versace🕯🙏 the best friend (’’brother’’)of Sir Elton john who died because of a ’’fan’’ crazy
Freddie is relevant to what he’s talking about, because he was friends with Elton John. Freddie was one of the many who died young.
