The British singer, songwriter and pianist, Sir Elton John, will be performing live in Monaco in December 2017, to celebrate his five decade-long career in the music industry.

A multi-award winning artist John has received five Grammy Awards, five Brit Awards, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a Tony Award, a Disney Legends award, and the Kennedy Center Honors in 2004. A British legend in the music world he has also performed at a number of royal events, including the funeral of this close friend Princess Diana at Westmister Abbey in 1997 and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert outside Buckingham Palace in 2012.

With a whole host of well-known songs and memorable moments, I think we will always remember the special guest appearance that he made at George Michael's concert to duet on 'Don't let the sun go down on me', which became an instant hit both in the UK and the US.

Another memorable number being the 'Circle of life' which appears on the soundtrack for Disney's The Lion King, which became an instant hit. The 70-year old crooner will be performing along with his band at the Grimaldi Forum here in Monaco on Wednesday 6th December 2017. If you haven't got your tickets yet then you'll need to be quick as the concert has nearly sold out!
