Singer and former Strictly star Sophie Ellis-Bextor shared an emotional moment with fans at a music festival on Friday night as she opened up following the death of her beloved step-dad two years ago. The Murder on the Dancefloor singer was the headline act at The Wychwood Festival in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, on Friday (June 3) when she addressed the crowd.
She had just performed her single Young Blood which she has since dedicated to her stepfather John Leach, who died in 2020 from cancer. She said the song is about how when you fall in love with someone, no matter how many years go by, a part of you always sees the other person as they were when you first met them.
It was a powerful and emotional rendition of the song that was released back in 2013. And Sophie, who was performing her Kitchen Disco at the festival at Cheltenham Racecourse, shared a surprising and moving revelation as she finished singing.
