Elton John played what he says will be his last ever North East concert on Sunday and boy, did he go out with a bang.
The legendary singer played to a packed crowd at Sunderland's Stadium of Light as part of his mammoth Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
Elton bid an emotional goodbye to his adoring followers telling them he was taking a step back from performing to spend time with his family and that he would tell his children how much he has loved his fans.
