Sir Elton John - Fit for the Queen
Rock legend Sir Elton John is to hold a special ‘warm-up’ concert in London for The Queen just a few days before he brings his live show to North Derbyshire, and a first ever visit to Chesterfield and the B2net Stadium.
It has been announced that he is amongst a long line-up of musical stars form the worlds of rock and pop, along with the best of classical music and musical theatre who are set to rock the Palace for The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert on Monday 4 June 2012.
This historic concert, a celebration of The Queen’s 60-year reign through music, will be attended by Her Majesty The Queen, His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh and other Members of the Royal Family.
Members of the public are also being given the chance to attend in a national ballot but demand is expected to far outstrip the available number of tickets on offer. As a result Elton John fans are being reminded that they still have a chance to guarantee getting a ticket for his live concert only a few days later at Chesterfield FC’s B2net Stadium on Saturday 9 June 2012.
