Elton John's mom, Sheila Farebrother, has passed away. "So sad to say that my mother passed away this morning," Elton wrote alongside a photo of the pair on Twitter on Monday. "I only saw her last Monday and I am in shock. Travel safe Mum. Thank you for everything. I will miss you so much. Love, Elton."

While John didn't explain the circumstances surrounding his mother's death, Elton announced this past Spring that he had reconciled with his mom [3] after being estranged from her for almost a decade. Sheila was 92. Our thoughts go out to Elton and his family.
