Elton John said the celebrities invited at the event weren't enough, despite the fact that big names from the show-bizz, like Madonna, Robbie Williams, Pink Floyd, The Who, Paul McCartney and Coldplay performed on the Hyde Park stage.

Elton confessed to The Daily Telegraph: "I thought it was a bit of an anti-climax, to be honest.

The thought behind it was fantastic, but Hyde Park is a charisma-free zone. There was no sense of occasion and from a musical point, I didn't think there were were too many highlights.

I was very pleased to be part of it," he added "but I didn't think it was anywhere near as good as the first one. How could it be?"

The flamboyant singer also criticized Pete Doherty's performance, saying he was "a mess" and adding "it's really sad". Nevertheless, Elton blamed his performance on being "really nervous on the day".
