Sir Elton John has dedicated one of his classics to Ric Ocasek and Eddie Money, who passed away within days of each other last week.
Elton played ‘Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me’ at his Friday show San Francisco and then repeated the dedication at his next show the following Sunday.
He said, “On Friday I dedicated this song to Eddie Money who had passed away. And tonight I have another sad dedication to make because Ric Ocasek from The Cars passed away today. The Cars were one of the greatest bands that ever came out of America. So original. He was an amazing songwriter, singer, producer, whatever. To family and his loved ones I send my condolences and to him thank you for all the wonderful music you gave me and all the pleasure you gave everybody”.
