Elton John announced in an Instagram post that his mother, Sheila Farebrother, died Monday morning.

Farebrother was 92. John didn’t say how his mother had died.

The two had reconnected recently after a family disagreement caused them not to speak for nine years, Fox News reported.

John has had a tough year, having had to cancel April and May performances because of a long-lasting bacterial infection.

Fans reached out on Twitter to offer condolences for John's loss.

RIP condolences  to Sir Elton and his family at this difficult time. @eltonofficial
