Elton John on Princess Diana, 20 Years Later: ‘The World Lost an Angel’
It’s been 20 years since the world lost Princess Diana, a beloved icon with a heart of gold. Her good friend, Elton John, recently posted a pic of themselves with a heartfelt message: “Twenty years ago today, the world lost an angel.”
After her death, Elton reworked his 1973 song “Candle in the Wind” to honor her. The song was originally a tribute to Marilyn Monroe. Diana’s version has sold over 33 million copies across the world, and much of the proceeds go to charity.
