Elton John Extends UK Tour, Gets Ready To Close Las Vegas Run

Sir Elton John has added a new date to the UK leg of his Red Piano tour.

The singer will now play London’s Wembley Arena on October 27, in addition to shows in Sheffield and Newcastle.

The announcement comes as Sir Elton prepares to end his five-year residency in Las Vegas later tonight (April 22).

The Red Piano shows, which began in February 2004, were only initially only scheduled to run for 75 shows, but was extended due to popular demand.

The ambitious stage show features video montages by director David Chapelle.

Tickets for the new show in London go on sale on Thursday (April 23) at 10am.
