Candle In The Wind
Then, after the funeral, Elton went to a studio to record “Candle in the Wind” for release, he wrote. He eventually returned home, where he was overcome with grief. “I hadn’t felt able to show emotion all day. I had a job to do, and how I felt about Diana’s death might have interfered with my ability to do it.”

Unfortunately, Elton would be haunted by “Candle in the Wind” for a long time. “In the end, I started feeling really uncomfortable with the single’s longevity. Its success meant there was footage of Diana’s funeral week after week on Top of the Pops. It almost felt like wallowing in her death, as if the mourning for her had got out of hand.” Elton wrote.
