He revealed: "Oh boy. I'm never at home. This house in Windsor, I've been in since 1975 and I've been here three or four weeks at a time before I'm going somewhere else."

He added that the pandemic had been a great opportunity for his family to all be under the same roof for a long period of time, and that they all had a lovely time together.

His proud husband David paid a heartfelt tribute to the star on Instagram on the night, writing: "He's back!! Last night, Elton and his amazing band (minus one COVID-positive keyboard player) returned to the stage after a 22-month hiatus. It was a brilliant return to form, and the New Orleans audience were grateful and wildly enthusiastic.
