Last concert for Elton John in Great Britain. The singer performed on stage at Glastonbury Festival yesterday. “I’m so happy to be here. I’ll never forget it,” the 76-year-old author of ‘Your song’ told the crowd as quoted by the BBC. He added: “Never thought I’d be playing Glastonbury and here I am. It’s a very special and exciting night for me because it might be my last show in England, Great Britain. I’d better play well and I’d better entertain y’all.” why have you been here for so long,” he said again.
Elton John took to the stage in front of a crowd of around 120,000 and, as promised, performed ‘Pinball Wizard’, a song he hadn’t performed in decades. Song which was followed by ‘The Bitch Is Back’.
The tribute to George Michael, who would have turned 60 just yesterday, is moving. “Today is a very, very special day and I’m wondering how I’m going to deal with it,” he said recalling the Wham! singer, who died of natural causes at the age of 53 in December 2016. “George Michael – he added – is “He was one of Britain’s most fantastic songwriters. He was a friend of mine, an inspiration and today would have been his 60th birthday, so I want to dedicate this song to his memory. All the music he left behind is wonderful.” “This is for you George,” he said before thrilling fans with the famous 1974 ‘Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me’
The show was one of the last stops on the ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ tour, officially the highest grossing tour of all time, with box office receipts of $887m (£697m). After Glastonbury, in fact, there are only seven dates left with the final show in Stockholm on July 8th.
