Is it true that the famous song Candle in Wind was rewritten and performed at funeral of Princess Diana 1977?

The famous song "Candle in the Wind" was indeed rewritten and performed at the funeral of Princess Diana, but it occurred on August 31, 1997, not in 1977.

Elton John, who originally recorded "Candle in the Wind" in 1973 as a tribute to Marilyn Monroe, reworked the lyrics to express his condolences to Diana's family and the loss the world felt.

The revised version, titled "Candle in the Wind 1997," featured lyrics that specifically commemorated Princess Diana's legacy and her impact on the globe.

During the funeral service at Westminster Abbey, Elton John delivered a heartfelt performance of the song, profoundly moving the audience and memorializing Princess Diana's life.
