<p>He added: “This is a magnificent country that I’ve been coming to since 1971.</p>
<p>“I love it here so much. To see what is happening here breaks my heart and so we have to come together and we have to fight, and this is my bit towards it.</p>
<p>“I love Australia so much and to those that have lost their homes, God bless, I hope that your lives will be repaired very soon.”</p>
<p>Animals have had their habitats destroyed “on a biblical scale”, he told the audience at the Qudos Bank Arena.</p>
<p>He said: “Therefore tonight I will be pledging one million dollars to support the bushfire relief fund.”</p>
<p>His announcement was met with huge cheers from the crowd.</p>
<p>Sir Elton did not say whether his donation was in Australian or US dollars, which would be worth around £524,000 and £762,000 respectively.</p>
