During the show, Queen featuring Adam Lambert performed along with Diana Ross, Duran Duran, Craig David, Eurovision singer Sam Ryder, Ella Eyre, Elbow, Alicia Keys, Hans Zimmer, Mabel, Jax Jones, Celeste, Andrea Bocelli, Sigala and Nile Rodgers.
Sir Elton’s ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ tour has faced multiple postponements since kicking off in 2018, due to the Covid pandemic as well as the singer’s hip injury. The tour is the subject of a Disney+ documentary.
