The singer was performing at the Hotel de Paris in Monaco for a rumoured £1 million fee when the teleprompter was noticed in a flower arrangement, Sky News reports.
The words to 'Your Song', which John released in 1970, were visible on the screen.
One fan said: "He really got stuck into the performance, giving it everything. But some people noticed a screen hidden in the flowers.
"Most fans could sing 'Your Song' in their sleep so it's funny Elton needed help with the lyrics he's been doing for four decades."
A spokesperson explained that the autocue was only used to remind John of the show's running order.
