Glastonbury viewers notice surprising detail in Elton John performance

Sir Elton John treated fans to hit after hit at Glastonbury as he delivered a "special and emotional" performance in what could be his last ever show in the UK. But some fans spotted a surprising detail during his performance of Don't Go Breaking My Heart.

For the song, the star was joined by Japanese-British singer Rina Sawayama who was hailed by Sir Elton as "an extraordinary talent and amazing recording artist". The 76-year-old left his piano for the performance and some fans spotted that during the song he wrote in 1976, he was reading from an autocue.

Piers Morgan sparked a fierce reaction from fans after he accused the singer of reading lyrics. Author, poet and former Children's Laureate, Michael Rosen replied: "When you're in your 70s Piers, do try doing a gig without referring to the words of a song or two."
