-Elton John contacted songwriting partner Bernie Taupin to rewrite the lyrics from his song "Candle in the wind" written in 1973 about Marilyn Monroe. John has only performed the 1997 version once, and only sings the 1973 version in concert as he has said he would only perform it if Diana's sons requested it. The song was un seated by Savage Garden;s"Truely, Madly ,Deeply".
