Sir Elton joins Prince in London



Pop star Prince was joined onstage by Sir Elton John at the latest of his 21 dates in London's O2 arena.


The singer appeared unannounced at the start of the encore to sing a cover of The Beatles' Long and Winding Road, accompanied by Prince on guitar.
Afterwards, the two superstars embraced and Prince said to the crowd: "You know who it is - Sir Elton John!"


The collaboration clearly inspired the Minneapolis musician, who crammed a further seven songs into his encore.


Among them were his 1980s classics When Doves Cry and Sign Of The Times.


The BBC's John Hand, who was at the concert, said: "Sir Elton has performed onstage with many of the top stars of the past three decades, including Eminem and George Michael, but this was still a surprise - albeit one which was much appreciated by the crowd."
