Elton John Glastonbury Bingo! Suggestions..?

487 replies

JemimaPyjamas · 25/06/2023 15:05

I need enough to have at least 40 (ideally).

I have, so far, numerous songs, and suggestions for who the mystery guests will be.

I also have names of people who'd potentially be mentioned or spotted (as there won't be commentary during the set, just before - it's not as easy as it is when doing, say, Royal Wedding bingo!)

Each card will have a mixture of the obvious and the not so obvious.

However, hive mind, more suggestions would be great - I have 32 so far, but can also omit some if other better one's come up. There are five of us to make cards for.

Current list is below...

  1. I’m Still Standing
  2. Legend
  3. Harry Styles
  4. Paul McCartney
  5. Britney Spears
  6. Final
  7. Promises to be different
  8. Lady Gaga
  9. First time at Glastonbury
  10. Final UK show
  11. Rocket Man
  12. Kate Bush
  13. Special Guest
  14. Royalty
  15. Honky Cat
  16. The Bitch is Back
  17. Border Song
  18. Tiny Dancer
  19. Showman
  20. Ed Sheeran
  21. Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me
  22. Don’t Go Breaking My Heart
  23. Candle In the Wind
  24. Your Song
  25. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
  26. I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues
  27. Dua Lipa
  28. David Furnish
  29. Collaborations
  30. Circle Of Life
  31. Sworn to secrecy

Took me all my time to stay up past 10pm and watch it, and I'm I'm only 40 Grin

I'm in awe of all them. Star

Dh and I in our early 30s wouldn’t class ourselves as huge elton fans but that was undeniably good and we could look away. He showed a lot of class in how he treated his band mates and guests.

littlbrowndog · 25/06/2023 23:05

Awesome set 👏👏👏👏

scrivette · 25/06/2023 23:06

Absolutely blown away by that, I am not a huge fan but I thought it was so well done. What a show!

Coastalcreeksider · 25/06/2023 23:06

I wasn't expecting to enjoy it, he really played a blinder though. A great way to go out. Good one Elton.

Cheguevarahamster · 25/06/2023 23:08

Amazing. Good on you Elton.

MzMazzaa · 25/06/2023 23:09

And that is how you headline Glastonbury.
Elton John really was amazing for his final UK live. Xx

Elton has been an incredible composer. Listen to his music and words. He's a genius.

So...who won the bingo?

LittleBumblebee3 · 25/06/2023 23:14

He looked like he enjoyed every minute of that too. What an absolute pro! Just in a whole different league!!

Pub singer is making me laugh 🤣 I’ll happily come for a night at your local if that’s the kind of performers you have 🤣

I’m sure he’s not everyone’s cup of tea (lord knows why, because he’s bloody brilliant IMO 🤣) but nobody can deny that that was a fantastic headline set!

Bernie Taupin (very famously) writes the words, not Elton.

Elton is an incredible musician, composer and performer though.

LEGEND

That is how you say goodbye to the U.K. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it, but DH and I loved it, there aren’t many that could play for 2 hours straight, and each song a smash hit, each one recognised. No padding or fillers, no breaks or costume changes, just hit after hit after hit.

Thanks Elton, you were out standing

EconomyClassRockstar · 25/06/2023 23:25

I’ve seen The Killers about 8 times. How did Brandon go from sex on legs to Utah preacher so quickly?!

Wellgoodforyou · 25/06/2023 23:27

Absolutely brilliant ,he really didn’t want his last note on the piano to end !Am so Happy that he made a tribute to George Michael…absolutely loved him and want his Always song with Mary Bligh played at my funeral! George would have been 60 today and I am fairly soon 💕💕

Wellgoodforyou · 25/06/2023 23:31

My 23year old son watched this and has gone to bed stunned that a 76 year old could sing and play for two hours …an absolute lesson in respect for older people!

whynotwhatknot · 25/06/2023 23:35

loved that some hits hes got

shame bernie wasnt there

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 25/06/2023 23:36

Air ambulance just left Pilton. Hope it’s not EJ, he didn’t look very well.

whynotwhatknot · 25/06/2023 23:37

Rest assured, he’s flown out on his plane already (my husband follows Flightradar24 avidly and has been stalking his plane 😁)

Ooh I was at that too. It was a great day. I remember missing all of Big Country because I had to queue for the loo.😁

I was there too. Was the first concert I ever went to. Was called The Summer of '84 concert wasn't it?

redspottedmug · 25/06/2023 23:51

Elton's arrived home Smile

I don't know who your husband is following on FR but EJ plane is still on the ground at Bristol.

How do you know which plane …have looked on FR ?

redspottedmug · 25/06/2023 23:53

There's two helicopters. One's just landed chez EJ, watching the other one as it's heading the same way.
