Elton John 'spent over £600' at Dennistoun BBQ joint ahead of Glasgow gig

Music icon Elton John is believed to have splashed the cash to treat his crew ahead of his Glasgow concert on Saturday night.

The 76-year-old is understood to have placed a substantial order at family-run smokehouse venue Dennistoun Bar-B-Que on Saturday in the east end of the city.

A copy of the receipt was shared by staff for his order which stated that it had been placed by the Rocket Man singer. Pictures of the bagged food being sent to the OVO Hydro where Elton John was set to hit the stagey, writes the Record.

The legend ordered 25 BBQ pork buns, 25 BBQ brisket buns, one vegan 'granny' burger, four veggie smoke stacks, six chicken burgers, and 10 portions of garlic fries.
