Elton John's emotional 'last show ever in England' as he ends tour on Glastonbury's Pyramid stage

Sir Elton John gave an emotional yet explosive performance at Glastonbury in what he told festival goers could possibly be his 'last ever show in England.' The star said he never thought he would play Glastonbury as he took to the Pyramid Stage.

He arrived on stage in a gold suit and took a seat at the piano as fireworks went off, before he launched into a rendition of Pinball Wizard. The star was also joined on stage by some surprise special guests, including the Killers frontman Brandon Flowers, reports PA.
