Vegas looks like the place to be in February 2009. Particularly if you’re a fan of Sir Elton John, one of the premier singers of our day, or perhaps Billy Joel, another favorite.
Elton John, with his flamboyant style, outrageous clothing and outstanding music are part of what made the seventies, but he didn’t stop there.
With a career spanning nearly forty years, Elton John has been a driving force in rock as well as pop music, selling well over 200 million records, also making him one of the most wildly popular and successful musicians of all time.
More than fifty of his songs have hit the top forty, including seven albums in a row, and Sir Elton John is ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the top 100 artists of all time, hitting number 49.
And yes, its true. He will be performing along with Billy Joel, the Piano Man, for several shows.
Get your tickets to see Elton John in Las Vegas, and check out his shows withBily Joel, because if you don’t get these tickets now, we guarantee, you’re probably not going to get them.
All those rumors you’ve been hearing are true, in point of fact. Billy Joel, billed as the Piano Man, has a new tour, and it will entail performances with Sir Elton John.
The early parts of February will see him performing in Las Vegas. Can you think of anything nicer to give to someone you care about than a very special trip to Las Vegas, where Billy Joel will be appearing at the MGM Grand for Valentines day.
Selling more than 150 million recordings world wide, Billy Joel, aka the Piano Man, has rocked us all since the seventies, but his magic didn’t stop at that point. With top ten hits in the seventies, the eighties and the nineties, Billy Joel has proven that he’s got star power and more.
Billy Joel effectively “retired” from recording in 1993 but continued to tour (sometimes in the company of Elton John). Last year, in 2007 he returned to recording with a single called “All My Life,” followed by a world tour, and in September 2008 during an interview with GQ magazine, Elton John was quoted as saying : “I’m going on the road again with Billy Joel again next year,” confirming the rumor that the legends would reunite for a tour in 2009.
Even though the dates have not yet been decided, Elton John and his fellow pianist Billy Joel are planning to tour together again sometime next year.
The two pop/rock icons have toured together four times before. During these so called “Face to Face” tours, the two have played each other’s songs and performed duets.
Elton John has sold over 200 million records, making him one of the most successful artists of all time. John was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and was knighted in 1998. For now, John will continue to perform mostly at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Billy Joel has sold over 150 million albums worldwide. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999. Joel “retired” from recording pop music in 1993 but continued to tour – sometimes with Elton John.
