Sir Elton John paid the fondest of farewells to Leeds in what he declared his final show in the city.
Sir Elton John, 76, will always have an affinity with Leeds First Direct Arena having been the first act to officially play the venue back in 2013. Nearly 10 years later, the masses packed it out as the music icon paid a stop on Tuesday evening as part of his farewell tour - a schedule of shows which has so far seen the great perform to over 300 audiences worldwide.
The relatively early start, of 7.30pm, didn’t seem to take many by surprise with barely a spare seat to be found when Sir Elton opened with Bennie and The Jets. The icon was positioned prominently on the hugely impressive stage set up with his backing band, which he described as one of the best ensembles he’s performed with, immersed into the structure.
