This is how the pop world mourns Queen Elizabeth II.

Queen Elizabeth II is dead. The British monarch died on September 8, 2022 at the age of 96. This marks the end of an era not only for the world of politics, but also for the world of music. After all, Queen Elizabeth has sat on the British throne since 1952. She was queen for eight years when the Beatles were formed. Accordingly, British musicians react emotionally to the news.

Elton John expressed his sadness in a post. “Like the whole nation, I am deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. She was an inspirational figure who guided the country through some of our greatest and darkest moments with grace, grace and genuine warmth.” “Queen Elizabeth has been an important part of my life from childhood and I will miss her dearly.”

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger pays tribute to the Queen in a tweet. “All my life, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has been with me. When I was a kid, I watched the highlights of their wedding on TV. I remember her as a beautiful young woman who became the nation’s beloved grandmother. My deepest condolences to the royal family.”

A message of condolences can also be read on the official account of the Rolling Stones. “The Rolling Stones extend their deepest condolences to the Royal Family on the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who was a constant presence in her life and countless others,” the band said.

Former Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice) writes: “Today is a very sad day for the whole world. I am deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved monarch, Her Majesty the Queen. She will be remembered for her unwavering loyalty and service and my thoughts are with the Royal Family at this time.”

Star Trek legend William Shatner also expressed his sadness. “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth,” said the actor.

His Enterprise colleague George Takei (Mr. Zulu) also spoke up. “Queen Elizabeth II has passed away at the age of 96. My thoughts are with the Royal Family and the people of the UK and around the world who are mourning their loss. In her time, the queen changed a country, even a whole world. There will be no other like her,” he wrote on Twitter.

Ex-Monty Python member Eric Idle took the news a little more sarcastically. “I’m sure Trump is already making a claim to the throne,” the comedian said.

Designer and Beatles daughter Stella McCartney wrote: “It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of Her Majesty The Queen. On behalf of the Stella McCartney team, I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to the royal family. – Stella”

“I mourn with my country the passing of our greatest Queen. It is with a heavy heart that I say that the thought of England without Queen Elizabeth II is devastating,” writes Ozzy Osbourne.

Osbourne’s Black Sabbath colleague Geezer Butler also posted a tribute. “It is sad to hear that the Queen has passed away. I remember the celebrations in the streets when she was crowned queen. It was always a part of growing up in England,” says Butler.

Other tributes came from Duran Duran, Bryan Adams and Def Leppard.
