Elton John Announces $1 Million Donation to Australia Fire Relief Efforts

Elton John is currently in Sydney, Australia, and while playing his concert there on Tuesday (January 7), he announced a one million dollar donation to the fire relief efforts.

In front of the whole crowd at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Elton said, “We should all be in the awe of the work the firefighters are doing. There are people out there who have lost their lives trying to save homes, there are people who have lost their lives and their homes.”

He continued, “And lastly, there’s the plight of the animals, a loss of their habitat that frankly is on a biblical scale and it’s heartbreaking. Therefore tonight, I will be pledging $1 million dollars to support the bushfire relief fund.”
