It's gonna to be a long, long time before we're over Elton John's moving tribute to Queen Elizabeth II. 

At his Rogers Centre concert in Toronto on Thursday evening, the "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" singer put a pause on all the hoppin', boppin', and crocodile rockin' to remember the 96-year-old British monarch, who died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland earlier in the day. 

"We have the saddest news about the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth," John said at the show. "She was an inspiring person to be around. I've been around her and she was fantastic. She led the country through some of our greatest and darkest moments with grace, decency, and a genuine care and warmth."
