School kids from Telford Priory School in Shropshire have been putting together videos all throughout lockdown and their cover of Elton’s hit was picked up by the music icon himself.

Their teacher Ben Millington revealed to BBC that Elton had got in touch to praise the group’s performance, after Canadian songwriter Ron Sexsmith sent it his way.

Elton sent the students a video message, telling them he had watched back their cover ‘three times’ because it had impressed him so much and thanked the group for really cheering him up during lockdown.
