Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road. Flamboyant, iconic British rocker Elton John lowered the curtain on his lengthy (touring) career on Sunday night (6/25/23) at UK’s Glastonbury Festival. And, true to form, the “Rocket Man” did it with style. Check out the video below of his performance of Elton's signature hit "Rocket Man."
Donning a flashy gold suit and tinted glasses, Sir Elton rocked the event and brought on a slew of musicians to perform some of his greatest hits. The Killers’ lead singer Brandon Flowers joined John for “Tiny Dancer,” while Rina Sawayama duetted with the legend on his hit with Kiki Dee, “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.”
And in a touching moment, Elton dedicated his epic anthem “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me” to the late George Michael. Speaking of collaborations, Guns ‘N Roses performed their somewhat-controversial headlining set and brought along reinforcements in Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl. The rockers performed “Paradise City” in front of the British crowd on Sunday.
