But the part that surprised the audience came during the encore when Lipa brought out the eminent and globally acclaimed singer John Elton and they performed a duet of their 2021 hit song ‘Cold Heart (Pnau Remix)’. After this the gorgeous singer was seen to be posting a series of photons on her social media account on Instagram that featured shots of her and Elton performing, her dancers, and behind-the-scenes moments.
