Elton John Returns to the Stage with Brandi Carlile Ahead of New Album Release

In an exhilarating return to the stage, Elton John captivated fans at a sold-out concert in London, where he performed alongside acclaimed singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile. This live event precedes the upcoming release of their joint album titled Who Believes In Angels?, set to debut on April 4.

The concert took place at the historic London Palladium and attracted an audience of approximately 2,200 attendees. During the performance, the duo delivered a selection of 15 tracks, which included classic hits from Elton John's extensive career such as 'Tiny Dancer,' 'Bennie and the Jets,' and 'I'm Still Standing,' alongside Carlile's well-known song 'The Story.' The performance was bolstered by the presence of notable musicians, including Chad Smith, the drummer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and renowned producer Andrew Watt on guitar.

Despite facing mobility challenges due to a recent accident, the 78-year-old music icon showcased remarkable vocal prowess and impressive piano skills that resonated with the audience. Attendees included a host of celebrities, such as Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, Hollywood actor Jason Momoa, and comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, all of whom applauded the legendary performer with enthusiasm.

This memorable concert was recorded for television broadcast, further extending its reach to fans who could not attend in person. Elton John's last major performance was in July 2023, marking the conclusion of his farewell tour, Farewell Yellow Brick Road, in Stockholm. At that time, he indicated a shift away from extensive touring, although he expressed a desire to continue performing at select events.

Following his farewell tour, Elton John returned to the stage for a charity concert in Venice in December 2023, hinting at his enduring passion for live performances.
