Elton John’s beloved mother, Sheila, has passed away at the age of 92.
Ms Farebrother and her musician son did not speak for many years, but had more recently reconciled their differences and were back in touch.
On Monday, 70-year-old Elton posted a photo of duo together, writing: “So sad to say that my mother passed away this morning.
“I only saw her last Monday and I am in shock. Travel safe Mum. Thank-you for everything. I will miss you so much. Love, Elton.”
