Sir Elton John will bring on four special guests during his headline show at Glastonbury this weekend, his husband David Furnish has revealed.
The industry legend will perform on the Pyramid Stage on Sunday night, in what many are calling his final UK gig. Sir Elton’s husband, David Furnish, told Sky News’ Beth Rigby fans can expect four unnamed stars to join him.
Discussing his partner's performance, David said: "Four collaborators of his choosing. People, he just thought, ‘I’d really like to do something with these artists at Glastonbury’. And that’s all I’m going to say.”

Asked who they might be, he added: “Sorry. I am sworn to secrecy. This one is very special. It is not just another day in the office. It’s a different set list – it’s a huge outdoor live festival. He’s got four different collaborators joining him on stage at different times, who I won’t name, sorry.
“So, he’s done a lot of changes. A lot on his plate, so I think he’s anxious. Yeah, but I think good, anxious, healthy anxious.” Sir Elton will close the festival on Sunday after headline shows from Arctic Monkeys on Friday and Guns N’ Roses on Saturday.
David added he doesn't expect Sir Elton to give up on music following his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour which ends in Sweden next month. He said: “I don’t think he’ll be sitting on the sofa with a remote control. He’s going to go back into the studio in October and start his next album. Which will be great. He’s not done a studio album in a long time."
