Happy Birthday, Sir Elton

Sir Elton John celebrated his 60th birthday in high style this past weekend, throwing a huge party at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, and performing his 60th concert at Madison Square Garden.

On hand to celebrate: Bette Midler, Whoopi Goldberg, Michael Stipe, Sharon Osbourne, Emma Thompson, Donatella Versace, Robin Williams, his long-time lyricist Bernie Taupin, and an introductory video clip by former President Bill Clinton.

Your Song of the Day is the 1982 single that he performs only when he appears at the Garden...his tribute to John Lennon..."Empty Garden."
