Sir Elton John has been “booed” by crowds on his farewell tour ahead of his Bristol show this week.
The singer, 75, played at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on Sunday evening (June 19) as part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour and got the crowd riled up when he made a joke about their Newcastle rivals. Sir Elton mentioned playing Newcastle’s City Hall during the 1970s and 1980s.
According to Chronicle Live, the crowd then started booing upon mention of the neighbouring stadium. Elton reportedly found the response amusing and joked that he had “no choice” other than to play there because there was no stadium in Sunderland at the time.
