‘Following the success of our recent music specials An Evening with Dua Lipa and Katy Perry: Night of a Lifetime, this show promises to be a special one, filled with incredible music, poignant moments, and stories from their remarkable careers at one of London’s most iconic venues.’

Gabe Turner, Partner at Fulwell Entertainment added: ‘It’s an absolute thrill to be working again with Elton John on this special evening, alongside the brilliant Brandi Carlile. 

‘We know that audiences are in for a real treat and it’s been a pleasure for all of us at Fulwell Entertainment to bring this project to life.’

Ahead of his birthday, Elton told how he reflected on his own mortality while working on his new album Who Believes In Angels?, slated for release on April 4.

The music legend shared that he cried for 45 minutes while working on one of his new songs and began to fear he ‘doesn’t have much time left’.

Elton, who completed his farewell tour in 2023, previously shared he’s suffered from sight loss after an infection left him blind in his right eye and with ‘limited vision’ in his left.

Speaking on the Smartless podcast, Elton revealed his heart-wrenching reaction came when he was performing his new track When This Old World Is Done With Me.

He said: ‘I wrote a song at the end of the album and I just get the lyrics, Bernie Taupin’s lyrics called When This Old World Is Done With Me. And so I’m writing the verse, like, ”Oh, this is really pretty”.

Theatre legend Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber was also in the star-studded audience

The Red H๏τ Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith was also seen leaving the theatre after Elton’s show

‘And then I get to the chorus and of course it’s about my death. And when you get to my age, which is near 100, you think, ”How much time have I got left?”’

Elton admitted he became very emotional while thinking about his husband David Furnish and their two sons Zachary and Elijah.

He went on: ‘You’ve got children, you’ve got a wonderful husband, you just think about mortality. And so when I got to the chorus, I just broke down for 45 minutes and it’s all on film.’

Elton said he ‘cried hard’ while working on the album with musician Brandi, and his reaction was recorded in his documentary Elton John: Never Too Late, which was released in October.

Brandi continued: ‘I want everybody to see it because it’s really human, like deeply flawed and embarrᴀssing. 

‘And the kind of s**t that you do when you forget that there is a camera on is what’s really interesting.

‘He got to the end of that chorus and his voice started to shake and I thought, ‘Oh, he’s going, like he’s going to really go’. And he went into a real moment.’
