Fans soak up the atmosphere in Stanley Park as Elton John performs at Anfield

Fans are currently soaking up the atmosphere as Elton John performs at Anfield Stadium.

The Rocket Man singer is on a mammoth Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, which also includes two dates at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena next year. Elton kicked off his show at 7pm at Anfield with many fans securing tickets to see him inside.

But fans who didn't manage to get tickets have made sure they haven't missed out on listening to the Candle In The Wind singer's greatest hits. Sitting in Stanley Park and Garden, which is behind the stadium, fans have gathered with friends and family for a picnic and some drinks while listening to Elton perform.

Elton John’s tour arrived in the UK earlier this week as he performed to a huge crowd at Carrow Road in Norwich. He started the show with Benny and the Jets, which he’s expected to lead with again tonight, before cruising through a setlist that includes Tiny Dancer, Your Song, I’m Still Standing and his recent number one Cold Heart.

After his Anfield gig the singer is heading to Sunderland, Bristol, London, Swansea, Cork and Watford, before heading off the for the American leg of the tour. Last week the Rolling Stones performed in front of a huge audience at Anfield and on Monday, the Eagles bring the stadium's 2022 summer concerts come to an end.
