Elton John has performed his last-ever US concert. The legendary hitmaker took to the stage at the Dodger's Stadium in Los Angeles to conclude the North American leg of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, and he went out with a bang, bringing along some friends with him for the ride. The Tiny Dancer singer brought out Dua Lipa, Brandi Carlisle, and Kiki Dee to perform hits such as Cold Heart, Don’t Let The Sun Go Down on Me, and Don't Go Breaking My Heart. The star later took to Instagram to state how grateful he was to his American fans for 'making' his career and for their generosity, love, and loyalty over the years.
After wowing everyone with his hit song Space, Man, Sam Ryder has announced a very special performance for NYE.

The programme will air on December 31 following the capital's full firework display, which will be the country's first since 2019. Sam said of the news that he couldn't think of a better way to round off his incredible year and we totally agree.
