Elton John will bring his outrageous Las Vegas Show The Red Piano to Britain later
this year, with shows at Liverpool Echo Arena
(December 17th - 18th) and Manchester MEN Arena (December 20th & 21st).
The Red Piano show, conceptualised and designed by acclaimed photographer and
good friend of Elton, David LaChapelle, has been running at The Colosseum,
Caesars Palace, Las Vegas to packed houses since 2004. Sir Elton brought the
show to London’s O2 Arena in September 2007, to rave reviews, as part of his 60th birthday celebrations and to mark 40 years of touring.
The larger-than-life set, complete with Elton’s iconic Yamaha red grand piano, has
been designed to reflect Elton’s flamboyance alongside his peerless musicianship.
The theme throughout The Red Piano is love, symbolised by the colour red and articulated through the songs and state-of-the art effects and high-end imagery.
During the shows, audiences will be treated to live performances of the phenomenal back catalogue of Elton John and Bernie Taupin, including hits such as Rocket Man,
Yellow Brick Road and Candle In The Wind.
Elton John said:
“I can’t wait to see how British audiences react to the Red Piano. The show is stuffed
with hits, it’s brash, bright and colourful. Over the past four years we have played
almost 200 Red Piano shows at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and every single one
has been an event – the band and I have had a ball!
