The 2023 Glastonbury Festival wrapped on Sunday with a headlining set fromElton John, which featured a sweet and romantic moment in the crowd.
While the legendary musician duetted his 1971 hit “Tiny Dancer” withThe Killers' Brandon Flowers— which may have been John’s final performance in his native England — cameras on the BBC live stream captured a couple getting engaged in the crowd.
The broadcast cut to the couple as the man was on his knee, proposing to his girlfriend with an engagement ring. He then got up and gave her a hug, while she grinned from ear to ear and surrounding fans cheered them on, according to a recording from the stream shared onsocial media.

“It’s a very special and emotional night for me because it may be my last show in England, in Great Britain,” continued John, addressing the crowd of fans wearing costumes nodding to different eras of his career. “So, I better play well, and I better entertain. You’ve been standing there for so long, and I really appreciate all the outfits and everything.”
