About this book

THE PYRAMID STAGE is alive with anticipation, the crowd stretching as far as the eye can see. Smoke curls into the sky as Elton John takes his place at the piano, orange-lensed glasses reflecting the stage lights. The first chords of Rocket Manring out โ€ฆ the crowd roars! Each note, each lyric, is met with a sea of waving hands. Then โ€ฆ the final chord fades, the fireworks explode overhead, and Glastonbury 2023 will forever remember Sir Elton Johnโ€™s headline performance โ€ฆย
