What could Elton John wear during his final ever set? A look back at his most iconic stage outfits

The legendary singer Sir Elton John is coming to the end of his ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ tour and is set to play the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury today. 

The ‘Rocket Man’ spoke to Radio 2 host Scott Mills ahead of his performance on the main stage.

Elton said “To be honest with you, it’s the first time I’ve been asked to play it, I haven’t turned it down before. But it’s just come at the right time. I’m a great believer in serendipity and fate and this is the most wonderful way to sign off in England and Great Britain.”

As well as absolute hits including ‘I’m Still Standing,’ ‘Don’t Go Breaking My Heart’ featuring Kiki Dee, and ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight.’ The singer has been known to go above and beyond when it comes to his bold fashion choices. 

We take a trip down memory lane and wonder if he will reprise one of these iconic outfits for his Glastonbury performance. 

The Glasses

When you think of Elton’s style over the years the first thing that comes to mind is his glasses. They have their own entity becoming a key element in any Elton John fancy dress outfit. There are no boundaries, the bigger the better, from bright colours and tinted lenses to sequined rims. Who says glasses have to be boring.

In an interview with Vogue the singer revealed that he “took glasses to a new level” and he doesn’t actually need prescription glasses anymore. 

Dodgers Baseball Kit

For his concert at the Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles Elton wore a show stopping blue and white, rhinestone-encrusted Dodgers baseball kit. His name was emblazoned across the back and the outfit was by fashion designer Bob Mackie.  

Donald Duck 

There is probably nobody else other than Donald Duck himself that could wear such a daring outfit and still look good. But yes Elton wore a full Donald Duck costume to perform at New York’s Central Park. 

Birthday Celebrations

The singer went all out with his 50th birthday celebrations and dressed as King Louis XIV. Decked out in a head-to-toe white ensemble with a three-foot tall wig and floor length feather cape. 

The Grammys with Lady Gaga

Elton wore a black Armani tuxedo that looked like it had been ruined as his outfit and face were covered in black dirt. The singer performed with Lady Gaga who is Godmother to his and husband David Furnish’s two sons.
