ELTON JOHN BRINGS DAZZLING RED PIANO SHOW TO LIVERPOOL! 

EXTRA DATE ANNOUNCED DUE TO PHENOMENAL PUBLIC DEMAND!

Elton John will bring his outrageous Las Vegas Show The Red Piano to Britain later this year, with shows at the Echo Arena Liverpool on December 17th and December 18th – among only a handful of European dates.  

The Red Piano show, conceptualised and designed by acclaimed photographer and good friend of Elton, David LaChapelle, has been running at The Colosseum, Caesars Palace, Las Vegas to packed houses since 2004. Sir Elton brought the show to London's O2 Arena in September 2007, to rave reviews, as part of his 60th birthday celebrations and to mark 40 years of touring. 

The larger-than-life set, complete with Elton's iconic Yamaha red grand piano, has been designed to reflect Elton's flamboyance alongside his peerless musicianship. The theme throughout The Red Piano is love, symbolised by the colour red and articulated through the songs and state-of-the art effects and high-end imagery.

During the shows, audiences will be treated to live performances of the phenomenal back catalogue of Elton John and Bernie Taupin, including hits such as Rocket Man, Yellow Brick Road and Candle In The Wind.

Elton John said: 
"I can't wait to see how British audiences react to the Red Piano. The show is stuffed with hits, it's brash, bright and colourful. Over the past four years we have played almost 200 Red Piano shows at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and every single one has been an event – the band and I have had a ball!

David LaChapelle created the show with the Las Vegas ambience very firmly in mind, but for a long time we have been working towards bringing the show to Europe. Finally, last year, London became Las Vegas when we brought the Red Piano to the O2 Arena – and what a night that was! So this year we’re going to sprinkle that Vegas magic over Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester. See you there!"
