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

I think Elton has chosen his side and it’s not Wills and Kate.

Oh it will be eventually Grin

Close up shots of his (amazing) percussionist

George Michael being 60 today makes me so sad. He totally deserves to be up there with Elton tonight. Hopefully he's watching from somewhere.

Pamalot · 25/06/2023 19:23

Has Boy George been mentioned?

What about a duet with the person who played him in the film?

Tarot egerton? Maybe , I saw him do a song at a hugh jackman concert as a special guest. But arguably they have already collaborated.

Fruttidelbosco · 25/06/2023 20:21

I am hoping for Levon.

Vitriolinsanity · 25/06/2023 20:22

I saw Elton and George duet DLTSGDOM live. It was EPIC.

Dear George.

Checking in!

I reckon Paul McCartney might turn up and they'll mention John Lennon, maybe have him on screen from when he played with Elton in New York.

I really hope it is Paul, actually, just because it would be a nice shout out to John, as John’s performance at the 1974 concert was to Paul. But I doubt it somehow. I’ve never got the impression that Paul and Elton John are that fond of each other.

@Gateappreciation Taron Everton is at Glastonbury, he has been posting on IG.

I have a crush on him so I am hoping he is one of the 4!

Tina!

You know she’s dead? Am I missing something? 😬

JeminaSunshine · 25/06/2023 20:44

Apparently it's Rina someone or other

Not going for the big high notes yet (don't bloody blame him tbh)

Borris · 25/06/2023 21:06

When does it start? Where can I watch it?

Hope George gets a nod from Elton tonight!

started now, on bbc1 or the iplayer

BigPeople · 25/06/2023 21:07

I don’t think Tina will appear, no Grin. He might mention her though @ bingo

BarelyLiterate · 25/06/2023 21:10

Elton’s band have been together since the 1970s. Same group of guys. I assume they will all retire when he does at the end of this tour. If it does ever end, that is. 🤣

Borris · 25/06/2023 21:10

Got it thanks 😊

rileynexttime · 25/06/2023 21:10

Not moving well as he walked on. But I guess years of playing a piano not good for the back?

That would certainly be one for the record books

Hollyisalrightactuallysorry · 25/06/2023 21:12

I saw Elton at the O2 a few weeks ago and I can honestly say I was blown away. His voice was incredible and he was so humble and grateful to the crowd

I think it will be an amazing set

I reckon Britney, Taron, Paul M and Dave Grohl just cos he's everywhere!
