Elton John's tribute to 'beautiful' Liverpool during Anfield gig - review

Elton John made an emotional declaration to Liverpool during his performance at Anfield telling the audience “What a beautiful city, what a beautiful stadium, what a beautiful heart you have.”

The singer performed the 230th show of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour at the home of Liverpool FC where those watching included Sir Kenny Dalglish. The Rocket Man star took a moment to say, ‘Kenny I love you dearly, thank you for being an inspiration’, before dedicating ‘Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me’ to the former Reds' player and manager.

During a storming set that lasted two hours and 20 minutes, Elton frequently stepped away from his piano to take in and point to the rapturous crowd, which was filled with people wearing Elton-esque sunglasses and Dodger-style baseball outfits.
