Elton John has announced that he is donating $1 million to the fundraising efforts aimed at the Australian bushfire disaster.

As per CNN, John made the announcement in Sydney during a concert, praising the work of firefighters tackling the blazes and doing his best to raise further awareness as to the horrific plight of the affected wildlife.

“We should all be in the awe of the work the firefighters are doing,” he reportedly told the crowd. “There are people out there who have lost their lives trying to save homes, there are people who have lost their lives and their homes.”

He went on to say: “And lastly, there’s the plight of the animals, a loss of their habitat that frankly is on a biblical scale and it’s heartbreaking. Therefore tonight, I will be pledging $1 million dollars to support the bushfire relief fund.”
