The final day of Glastonbury is here already. We've already seen stellar performances from headliners including Arctic Monkeys, Guns N' Roses and Lana Del Rey.
Closing the festival tonight will be the legendary Elton John, who is also making his Glastonbury debut. As if that wasn't special enough, tonight (Sunday June 25) will be Elton's final ever UK show.
The star, 76, first embarked on his 350-date Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour back in 2018 and it has since played over 333 dates across five continents. The tour was meant to conclude in 2021, but the pandemic and a hip injury meant it was pushed back.

"I'm starting with a song I haven't played for about 10 years, so we'll see how it goes," Elton told BBC Radio 1. He continued: "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."
Discussing Sir Elton’s plans for surprises at the show, his husband David Furnish told Sky News’ Beth Rigby: “Four collaborators of his choosing. People, he just thought, ‘I’d really like to do something with these artists at Glastonbury’. And that’s all I’m going to say.”
Elton John is playing on the Pyramid Stage tonight (Sunday, June 25), from 9pm to 11.05pm.
While Elton has promised a different show for Glastonbury, there's no doubt he'll still be playing his greatest hits. The setlist might differ to what he's been playing to Farewell
