'GLASTONBURY IS GOING TO BE WONDERFUL'

Given he is one of the most successful performers and recording artists of all time, it's hard to imagine that Sir Elton John would ever feel nervous before a show. But ahead of his set on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury this Sunday, the multimillionaire musician admits he is apprehensive about headlining the festival because it's a new experience for him.

The 76-year-old says of the gig, "I'm a little intimidated by it because I haven't played there, I haven't been there." But he goes on to say that the opportunity to appear at the legendary Somerset festival has "come at the right time".

Elton, who is currently reaching the end of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, says, "I'm a great believer in serendipity and fate - this is the most wonderful way to sign off in England."

This tour will be the last one the singer says he will ever do and, having started it in September 2018 in Pennsylvania, it will end this July in Stockholm.

Elton's performance at Glastonbury this Sunday will be his last in the UK and to mark the occasion, he says he's going to have a "different setlist" to his other shows - and even some special guests.

"I've got guests who I can't tell you who they are," he says. "But it's going to be wonderfulI'm really looking forward to it."

When his debut at Glastonbury was announced, Elton said in a statement, "There is no more fitting way to say goodbye to my British fans. They have been beyond brilliant and have supported me through all the highs and lows of my career. I can't wait to embrace the spirit of the greatest festival in the world."
