Elton John Wows Mother Theresa Funeral Crowd With 'The Bitch Is Back"

CALCUTTA—Over 12,000 mourners at Saturday’s funeral for Mother Teresa were treated to a performance of “The Bitch Is Back” by Elton John. The delighted mourners, clapping their hands and swaying from side-to-side in time with the song’s pounding, rollicking barrelhouse piano, joined John in singing the song’s refrain, “Bitch, bitch / The bitch is back,” dozens of times, bringing the performance to over 12 minutes. “This is the perfect tribute to Mother Teresa,” said Sister Nirmala, Mother Teresa’s successor as leader of the Missionaries of Charity Order. “The bitch is indeed back with God.” John, who sat next to Princess Diana at Gianni Versace’s funeral and sat next to Mother Teresa at Princess Diana’s funeral, was seated next to former Beatle George Harrison at Mother Teresa’s funeral, fueling speculation that Harrison will perish next Tuesday in a fiery helicopter crash.
