On December 14, 1986, Elton played one of his most-performed songs in the city he has toured the most in Australia. Treating the Sydney Entertainment Centre audience to an especially emotional rendition of his 1974 hit, Elton was accompanied by a 14-member band and 88-piece orchestra, as he had been during the entire “Tour de Force” down under that November and December. This final show of the tour was made even more poignant due to the fact that Elton had been diagnosed with nodules on his vocal cords and, as he explains in his autobiography, “Me”, wasn’t sure if he would ever sing again. Thankfully, the subsequent surgery did the trick and he’s performed almost 3,000 times since.

Dayum… for a moment there I thought this was Wolfgang reincarnated!
What a spectacular cover, I loved it! 💕 Congratulations! 👏
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🫠
Hermoso!
God he performed that song like it was the last one he would ever do.
On top of everything he was facing, he knew this would be the absolute last time he would sing anywhere close to his original key, this whole concert plus this particular performance was truly the end of an era.
Wearing one of the wigs to avoid being seen bald.
I love how he looks over at the woman playing the flute and gives a grin because she played it well!
One of his many masterpieces.
I've lost count of how many decades ago it was, but I was thumbing through a magazine (don't remember the article) and there was a picture of that wall on which someone had spray-painted "Clapton Is God." I immediately thought "I beg to differ." ❤❤❤
He looks absolutely handsome, I love him and that's my favorite song
He's great
Thank Bernie.

An idea: the Band and EJ plays, loyal Talented Fans (Casting) sing the best Songs Life 😊
Elton John and Bernie Taupin made a wonderful musical duo.
With that "said," it's Elton John that makes their songs so graceful!!!
