Elton John performed at "Live Aid" in front of 72,000 people at Wembley Stadium, London, on the 13th of July 1985. Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure organized the event to raise funds for the Ethiopian famine disaster. It is estimated that it raised over $100 million. Broadcast across the world via one of the largest satellite link-ups in history, the concerts were viewed by around 40% of the global population. Sir John sang many of his classic hits, such as "Your Song," "Rocket Man," and "Candle in the Wind." He also performed duets with Kiki Dee on "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" and with George Michael on "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me," first played together at the event. Despite the positive response he received, Elton said it was the band Queen who, in the media coverage, "stole the show."
