However, viewers were all left saying the same thing when it came to Elton performing one of his biggest hits.
Singing Don’t Go Breaking My Heart, Elton replaced the song’s iconic female vocalist Kiki Dee in favour of new talent with performer Rina Sawayama.
The young popstar joined Elton, who rocked a bright golden suit for his set, to cover for the star.
It left many fans dismayed as they had hoped to see his original duet partner reunite with him on stage for one final time.
Writing online, one fan said: “Aah shame it’s not Kiki Dee.”
A second begged: “We want Kiki Dee!!!”

Another was left ‘gutted’ as they penned: “Awww gutted, I was hoping it was gonna be Kiki Dee.”
Earlier in the show, fans were left asking the same thing as they failed to identify the first special guest.
Performing a rendition of classic hit Are You Ready For Love, Elton welcomed singer Jacob Lusk from the band Gabriels.
Before joining the band, he came fifth on the tenth season of American Idol.
Writing online, one fan wrote: “Who’s this? We wanted Britney.”
Another added: “First guest… never heard of him.”
As a third simply asked: “Who?”
Today, music correspondent Mark Savage sent the rumour mill into overdrive as he tweeted: “Elton John’s team just performed a soundcheck at Glastonbury.
“As one mic was being tested, a member of the crew said: “One, two, one two. Rina mic, one, two.” So is that @rinasawayama confirmed for the Pyramid Stage tonight?”
Rina Sawayama performed on the Woodsies stage last night and she collaborated with him on the track Chosen Family in 2021.
