Overview

• Multiple media outlets confirmed that Ellie Goulding performed her cover of Elton John’s “Your Song” at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s June 27 reception on San Giorgio Maggiore.
• She first performed “Your Song” for the royal couple’s first dance at their April 29, 2011 reception in Buckingham Palace’s Throne Room.
• The choice of “Your Song” carries special resonance because Elton John was a close friend of Princess Diana and performed it at her funeral in 1997.
• Bezos and Sánchez’s lavish three-day wedding in Venice featured performances by Matteo Bocelli, Usher and DJ sets from DJ Cassidy, DJ Kygo and DJ Mei Kwok.
• Goulding’s ties to the royal couple also include her performance at their Earthshot Prize Awards ceremony in 2022.
