Elton John fans don’t have to wait long until the singer comes to Sunderland to treat concert-goers at the Stadium of Light to a string of his biggest hits.
The I’m Still Standing star is heading to Sunderland on Sunday 19 June as part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, which involves more than 300 concerts worldwide. Tens of thousands of concert-goers are expected to travel to Sunderland to see Elton in what promises to be an unforgettable experience for fans.
Those heading to the gig will no doubt want to snap up something to remember the show, although as with most concert memorabilia it looks like Elton's is on the pricey side. Here’s a list of the merchandise available on Elton John’s official website that gives a hint as to what concert-goers can expect to see on sale at the Stadium of Light on Sunday.
