Elton has announced announed a special gig at the historic Stoke Park Country Club for Sportsaid. Full dates and details are below.
Sir Elton, who has been a supporter of Sportsaid since it was first founded the 1970s, is hoping to raise £500,000 through the intimate summer concert for just 5,700 people.
"I am so excited to be part of this landmark event for SportsAid and to be helping the young, aspiring sports stars of the future," said Sir Elton in a statement. "I thought the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games were incredible and I was very moved by the ‘inspire a generation’ motto that accompanied it.
"The Games really brought home to me the sacrifices and enormous challenges that young people face to reach the highest level in sport – and from such an early age too. Their ambition and courage is a huge source of inspiration to me and I know we can make a big difference to their lives by setting up this new fund."
