Elton John has donated $1 million (£820,000) to a coronavirus Emergency Relief Fund to protect those living with HIV/Aids. The 73-year-old Rocket Man singer said the funds would come from his Elton John AIDS Foundation, and will be made available to those in need in the coming months.
During an appearance on Miley Cyrus’ Bright Minded Instagram Live show on Friday, Elton said, “I’m going to stick to my guns with the Aids Foundation and make sure because of this global pandemic that’s happening that the people who are suffering from another global pandemic don’t get forgotten. “That’s what my foundation has tried to do – help the marginalised, help the poor, help the people who mustn’t get left behind.
