Elton John decided to get rather cheeky about describing putting together a setlist.
In a new interview with the BBC, he said, “When you put a setlist together, I always say it’s a bit like having sex. You start off really well, then you chill out a little bit, then towards the end of the show all hell breaks loose.”
Sir Elton is closing out the famed Glastonbury festival in the U.K. this Sunday (June 25.) It’ll be the final performance in his home country on the “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour.
Fans can expect John’s setlist at Glastonbury to be a bit different than his setlist on tour. He said, “I’m starting with a song I haven’t played for about 10 years, so we’ll see how it goes … It’s a different show to what people have been seeing. On Farewell Yellow Brick Road, there’s quite a lot of deep cuts, it’s not all hits, and you’ve got to keep people interested.”
Following Glastonbury, Sir Elton will head to other European countries to finally wrap up his long-running farewell tour. A full list of the remaining shows can be found at EltonJohn.com.
