Elton John celebrates his 200th performance

 

British rocker Elton John celebrated the 200th performance of his "The Red Piano" tour in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday (June 21). The Caesars Palace was the perfect venue for fans of the British rocker as he gave an over-the-top performance at the Colosseum theatre.

 

The popular and lucrative tour, it debuted in 2004 and consists of Elton John's career hits over the past thirty years. Designed by American photographer/director, David LaChapelle, the sets of the show are elaborate, complete with huge video screens and inflatable props.

 

On stage, as Elton raised a toast to the 200th performance of "The Red Piano," he made tongue in cheek remarks about Canadian diva Celine Dion who spent five years at the Colosseum before exiting the venue.

 

"Welcome to the Colosseum at Caesar's Palace, the ex-home of Celine Dion. We will now have a minute's silence. Oh, I miss that skinny *CENSORED* so much. Its just not the same but anyway we do have in her place - Cher and Bette Midler and me. And we love doing the show and we are going to have a great time. This is our 200th performance," said John.

 

"The Red Piano" returns to the resort's Colosseum theatre for performances that begin on July 23 and again on October 22. In November, John will return to Europe for performances in the UK, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway and France.

[Davey84]

[Krys]

[amyja89]

I think it's cute, and he's sort of admitting that it takes three superstars to take Celine's place!

 

[Bellamy]

Cool.

[zoea2812]

Although elton is good, he is nowhere near as good as Celine

[celinerific]

[Nando Férri]

[SensationalCeline]

I think it's cute, and he's sort of admitting that it takes three superstars to take Celine's place!

 

 

I totally agree! Coming from Elton, that is an awesome compliment. I wonder what Celine would say about this? She'd probably laugh.

[KimboCosmo]

"That skinny *censored*"

[stevethefan]

Yeah I think Elton definitely meant the censored comment to be a compliment. He also said how it was not the same since she has left. Oh how true. But HOPEFULLY she won't be gone for long! I hope she's back in 2010!

[Love,]

Well... Elton likes to regard himself as a *****... such as
