Dua Lipa was heavily speculated to appear as a surprise guest during Sir Elton John’s Glastonbury historic performance, but alas, she was a no-show. On Sunday night, the 76-year-old Rocketman artist delivered a spectacular two-hour set featuring crowd-pleasers such as Tiny Dancer, Your Song and I’m Still Standing. This was billed as Sir Elton’s final UK gig before his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
Though many were hoping Dua would join Sir Elton for Cold Hearts, the duet ended up being performed by Jacob Lusk of Gabriels, The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers, and singer Rina Sawayama. Sir Elton even called on the crowd to sing Dua's part.
So, what was the 27-year-old songstress up to instead of being on the Pyramid Stage?
Thanks to the power of social media, it was revealed that Dua spent her Sunday cooking a scrumptious summer meal for her friends and family. She shared photos of a beautifully decorated dinner table with her 88.4million followers. On the menu was garlic prawns, burrata on a bed of roasted courgettes, and more. Dua was joined by her sister Rina and her friend Frances Phillips for the wholesome Sunday meal.
To show her appreciation for Sir Elton's Glastonbury set, Dua posted a clip of his performance of Cold Hearts to her Instagram Story with a string of heart hand emojis. The legendary singer closed his set with the beloved hit Rocketman, followed by a heartfelt message of gratitude to the crowd.
‘I want to thank you all for dressing up in your costumes, your glasses and your outfits, it makes me feel so happy and so loved,’ he said. ‘I also want to thank you for 52 years of amazing love and loyalty that you’ve shown me. It’s been an incredible journey.’
It was certainly a night to remember, and while Dua Lipa was absent from the Pyramid Stage, her presence was still felt.
