Retraction

I must retract part of my blog about the Diana concert and make a confession. I was writing it as I watched the end of the show. Elton John did NOT sing the remake of Candle in the Wind. I had read the AP story, which said that the Princes asked him to. My bad. AP assumed so too.

As Elton was to take the stage, there was some delay. Ricky Gervais had to stretch for about five minutes. He is hilarious. Why isn't he more famous here? Anyway, I can imagine the scene back stage, with the boys pleading with Elton to do the song. He didn't.
