Watch Elton John Pay Tribute To George Michael In Las Vegas

Elton John paid tribute to his late friend George Michael last night, ABC reports, opening his show in Las Vegas with a performance of "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me." John and Michael performed the song together in 1985 before recording and releasing it as a duet in 1991, but last night, John performed it alone while projecting a photo of Michael onto the stage. Watch below.

I am in deep shock. I have lost a beloved friend - the kindest, most generous soul and a brilliant artist. My heart goes out to his family, friends and all of his fans. @GeorgeMichael #RIP
