Elton John has been wowing audiences with his Red Piano show in Las Vegas since 2004 and Elton John's New Year's Eve Party will see him perform his greatest hits at the biggest party in town.
The show, the biggest of Elton's extensive career, has been conceptualized and designed by acclaimed photographer and good friend of Elton, David LaChapelle. It's said to be a visual masterpiece that expresses the very best times, and very worst times in Elton's life, making it a personal journey for both him and his legions of fans.
Elton commented on New Year at The O2: “I can’t wait to get to spend New Year's Eve with 17,000 of my biggest fans. I can't think of a better way to see in 2009."
David Campbell, Chief Executive of AEG Europe, owners and operators of The O2 added: “Elton really is a superstar. We aim to make New Year’s Eve at The O2 a once in a lifetime event, and I have no doubt this show will be exactly that."
Elton John's New Year's Eve Party follows on from the success of The O2's inaugural New Year celebrations last year with Take That.
Elton John has just released his 3 disc deluxe 'Red Piano' DVD – a 14 song performance of the best of the show including favorites such as Candle in the Wind, Your Song, Rocket Man and Tiny Dancer. His career has spanned four decades and he is one of the top selling solo artists of all time. With more than 250 million albums sold, 100 million singles, an Oscar and five Grammies, he has one of the most successful and sustained careers in music history.
New Year's Eve transport to and from The O2 couldn't be easier with the London Underground running 24 hours and 2,000 car parking spaces available at the venue.
