Wed, 12 Dec 2007 12:26 AM - Dubai Time
International
icon and legendary musician Sir Elton John and his band are set to
enthrall fans with a once-in-a-lifetime performance at Emirates Palace
on 22 January 2008. Playing in Abu Dhabi for the first time in his
career, the flamboyant performer will light up the outdoor West Wing stage with renditions of his all-time favorite hits.
The
multiple Grammy Award Winning artist is renowned for his charisma and
stage presence, constantly filling stadiums and concert arenas around
the world due to his distinctive style and amazing musical talent. Best
known for his tribute song to Princess Diana,
‘Candle in the Wind’, which became the best selling single of all time;
almost everyone recognises the genius of Elton John in hits such as
‘Your Song’, ‘Rocket Man’, ‘Crocodile Rock’, ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick
Road’, ‘Saturday Nights Alright For Fighting’, Philadelphia Freedom’,
Pinball Wizard’, ‘Circle of Life’ – which featured in his Lion King movie and stage show - and more recently the poignant hit ‘I Want Love’.
The
Elton John concert, produced by Event Solutions is the latest in a
series of high calibre events secured by Emirates Palace and by far the
most significant yet. General Manager of Emirates Palace and avid Elton
John fan, Noel Massoud is particularly excited about the upcoming
performance, saying, “Sir Elton John is one of the greatest performing
artists of all time, with a huge following
of fans spanning all nationalities and age groups. It is indeed an
honor to host such an esteemed musician and I look forward to greeting
him in person and welcoming him to Emirates Palace.”

Dhabi is increasingly attracting high profile events, including the Abu
