The pop superstar is closing Glastonbury on Sunday. But how do his classic 1970s hot pants and feathers stand up to a long weekend of heat, dust, sweat and larging it?
On Sunday night, Elton John is headlining Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage on the final date of his farewell UK tour. Soon the 76-year-old will be hanging up his piano and going back to being boring old Reginald Kenneth Dwight for good. This the first time Elton has been to Glasters, let alone headlined. “I’m a little intimidated because I haven’t played there, I haven’t been there,” he told BBC London. How come he hasn’t Glastoed before? “It’s the first time I’ve been asked,” he told Scott Mills on Radio 2.
Tomorrow, Elton will be back home resting his giant platform shoes. How would the singer have survived the whole Glastonbury experience? Armed with a backpack full of outrageous outfits, I lived like Elton to find out.
