While performing in Sydney on Tuesday night (September 7th), Elton John revealed he was donating $1 million to the fundraising effort for the Australian bushfire disaster.

Elton told the crowd: “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. 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.”

Meanwhile, Sharon Osbourne revealed Elton John is among the guests featured on husband Ozzy Osbourne‘s upcoming album. During her syndicated show, The Talk, Sharon shed light on what 2020 holds for Ozzy: “A lot of good things. Wellness. And to get back with his band, to get doing what he loves, which is touring and being out there with his fans. And yes, there’s new music, and it’s great. He’s got all his friends playing on it. He’s doing a song with Elton. There’s so much good stuff!”
