Sir Elton John makes mighty comeback to the stage after recovering from illness

He went back on tour this weekend!

After cancelling all his April and May performances due to a 'potentially deadly infection', Sir Elton John has made a full recovery and a mighty comeback to the stage!

This weekend, Sir Elton gave two concerts at Twickenham Stoop and Derby County Cricket Ground, which were both packed out with delighted crowds of fans.

At his performance in Twickenham on Saturday, the singer said: "It's good to be back in Twickenham. Thank you for coming out. At one point it was touch and go as to if I'd even be here."

Sir Elton also paid tribute to the victims and families of the upsetting attacks in Manchester and London. According to the Derby Telegraph, he told the crowd at the County Cricket Ground on Sunday:

"It would be remiss of me to not mention these events. It was a tragic and awful thing to happen. We live in really strange times. A song can be remembered forever but it cannot replace a loved one."

Sir Elton also had the screen behind him lit up with the words: 'We ❤️ MCR LDN'.

Sir Elton's tribute came on the same night of the One Love Manchester concert put on by Ariana Grande and friends, which added a huge £2 million to the £10 million raised for families affected by the attack.
