Just a day ago, Elton John was honored on Wednesday’s episode of The Masked Singer. While it was not the musician who told the show himself, it was the Royal Hen and other contestants who paid tribute to him with their song choices. Apparently, the Royal Hen stole the show with her performance and her song selection, “Philadelphia Freedom.”

Further, it was revealed that the person under the mask was none other than the 79-year-old American tennis legend, who performed the same song that was literally written for her. After that, King took to her Twitter account to share her feelings regarding the amazing experience she had on stage.

She wrote, “That was certainly the most fun I’ve had in a while. What a treat to sing “Philadelphia Freedom” on Elton John night! Thank you to everyone @MaskedSingerFOX, audience members, and everyone watching at home. Did you know it was me?”

In addition, she uploaded a few photos of herself from the occasion, in which she could be seen having a great time—even at 79 years old. For the unversed, it’s the same song that John wrote in appreciation for King after they both formed a deep friendship through philanthropy.
