Elton John is coming to S'pore for a one-night gig in May

SIR ELTON John loves Singapore so much he has requested a concert stop here for his latest Rocket Man Tour.

American concert organiser Live Nation's senior vice-president for Asia, Ms Colleen Ironside, says: 'As Elton John very much enjoys coming to Singapore, he asked if it was possible to arrange a show in Singapore en route to Australia for performances there.'

The English pop star last performed here in 1993 and 2001. The concert will be held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on May 7.

Tickets for the show go on sale on March 28 at 9am. Priced from $98 to $475, they are cheaper than the top-tier $600 tickets which The Police gig in February commanded.

But they are pricier than the top-tier prices of $200 and $196 for his 1993 and 2001 gigs.
