Elton John plays for 40,000 in Tel Aviv

British piano man Elton John is playing for some 40,000 fans in Tel Aviv, as his highly touted show gets underway.

Wearing a glittery purple suit and matching hat and singing while playing on a grand piano atop the Park Hayarkon stage, John tells fans he’s “happy to be back.”

This is his fourth show in Israel since 1980, including a 1993 gig he nearly canceled after getting annoyed by paparazzi.
