'Candle In The Wind' was a tribute to the late Marilyn Monroe, whose real name was Norma Jean Baker. It was a condemnation of the way she was treated by the film industry and the media, who he felt exploited her and forced her to continue with a lifestyle she was unhappy with, which led to her suicide in 1962.
A re-released version of the song, with altered lyrics, came out in September 1997 as a tribute to Princess Diana following her death in a car crash in Paris. Elton was a close friend of Diana's, and he sang it at her funeral.
