At 76 years old, Elton fought back tears as he looked out at the enormous crowd gathered to celebrate his six-decade career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many in attendance, the performance stirred memories of McCartney\u2019s own legendary 2022 Glastonbury set, which had been postponed for three years due to the pandemic. That night, Dave Grohl and Bruce Springsteen made surprise appearances, creating an unforgettable moment in festival history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/06\/26\/08\/72533545-12233639-image-a-1_1687766395189.jpg\" alt=\"Going nowhere, man:\u00a0Sir Paul McCartney watched from the sidelines on Sunday evening as Sir Elton John performed the final live UK performance of a glittering six decade career at Glastonbury\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The sight of McCartney watching from the wings didn\u2019t go unnoticed, with fans taking to social media to share their excitement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One fan tweeted: \u201cI just love seeing #PaulMcCartney supporting other artists from the sidelines.

Before performing \u201cDon\u2019t Let the Sun Go Down on Me,\u201d Elton paid tribute to the late George Michael on what would have been his 60th birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/06\/26\/09\/72533655-12233639-image-a-18_1687766732253.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a very special day,\u201d Elton told the crowd. \u201cOne of Britain\u2019s most fantastic singers and songwriters was George Michael.
