While a third remarked:  “Jaysus...did Dua Lipa turn down #EltonJohn or did he not ask her?”

The biggest guest star was Killers frontman Brandon Flowers who lent his talents to a mesmerising version of Tiny Dancer.

Elton arrived on stage in a gold suit and took a seat at the piano as fireworks went off, before he launched into a rendition of Pinball Wizard.

After performing The Bitch Is Back, Sir Elton told the crowd: “I never thought I would ever play Glastonbury and here I am.

“It's a very special and emotional night for me because it might be my last show ever in England, so I had better play well and I had better entertain you, you've been standing there so long and I really appreciate all the outfits and everything.”

He then launched into renditions of Benny And The Jets, Daniel, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues.

After a rendition of Someone Saved My Life Tonight, he told the crowd: “When I chose my guests for this show I wanted to have newer artists, save for one person, and this boy I heard last year on the radio... I've asked him to come to Glastonbury to do his song and he's an amazing young talent.”
