Elton John ‘blown away’ by students’ I’m Still Standing cover

peoplemagazine.co.za:

Elton John has invited a class of British schoolchildren to a future concert after he was “blown away” by their version of his hit I’m Still Standing.

Teenage pupils from Telford Priory School in Shropshire, England, have been creating videos together while learning remotely since lockdown began in the U.K.

in March, and in one of their videos, they created a group cover of the uplifting 1983 track. A video of their effort was sent to Elton by musician Ron Sexsmith, and the Your Song hitmaker loved their rendition so much he sent over a personal video message, which was posted on the school’s music department’s YouTube channel.
