But amid the current economic climate he is said to have slapped on an extra £3million for a wedding, and got turned down.

A source said: “It seems he’s raised his fee in line with the cost of living soaring and now it’s £3million more.

“The £4million fee was quoted earlier this year when Elton was approached to play at a wedding. Naturally the price changes depending on what is requested but it appears to have been hiked up. The couple turned it down because they couldn’t afford it. There are super-rich fans around the world who can, though.”

Elton performed for free at a wedding in New York last October as the couple — billionaire Robert Kraft and his partner Dana Blumberg — were long-time pals.

The Brit legend who has 10 No1 singles and eight No1 albums to his name, is worth around £450million.

Last month it was revealed his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour was already the highest-grossing of all-time.

He will also appear in a TV ad during the Super Bowl tomorrow night.
