Watch Sir Elton John stop Leeds farewell show to pay emotional tribute to blind little boy on the front row

Sir Elton John stopped his farewell show in Leeds to pay tribute to a blind child in the front row.

On Tuesday evening, Sir Elton John, 76, brought his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour to Leeds First Direct Arena. In an evening packed with hits including Your Song, I’m Still Standing and Tiny Dancer, among others, there were a number of touching moments away from the music.

Undeniably, the most emotional was when the legend stopped proceedings to honour a little blind boy in the front row. As seen in the video accompanying this article, Sir Elton said: “There’s a little boy in the front row. He can’t see me but he can hear me and he just broke my heart all night.”
