It's been 40 years since Sir Elton John released his famous album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", and his label is releasing this year a special 'anniversary' edition, not only featuring remastered versions of the original Elton songs, but also covers by contemporary artists paying tribute to the legendary composer.

One of the covers is done by Ed Sheeran. He was asked to re-record "Candle in the Wind". Originally, Elton John wrote the lyrics of this song (in 1973) in honor of Marilyn Monroe, who had died 11 years earlier. However, in 1997, Elton re-wrote part of the lyrics to make it a tribute song to Princess Diana. That 'new' version reached #1 in many countries. Enough talk though, listen below to Ed do Elton's classic justice!
