Another song we'll never  see him perform is Empty Garden, his tribute to John Lennon....he only does it in New York.  I get why, but holy smokes, that would be great to see live.

Perhaps with me in the audience he'll make an exception.

Restaurants around the rink are sold out for reservations Sat/Sun.  If you plan to have dinner before Elton, make plans now!

I expected Candle in the Wind to be the closer, nout wrong with that.
But I really like, can really see, going out on a real upper with Crocodile Rock.

I know a guy that scored a last minute ticket to Elton John, right up at the stage. I guess they rearranged the layout up front to free up some seats.

At the Round House Car Shop.

The Canadian College of Performing Arts will pay tribute to David Foster during a gala on June 30 celebrating the Grammy Award-winning producer’s five decades in music.

Foster will be in attendance for Dedicated to David: A Legendary Evening, which includes a gourmet dinner, live auction and musical performances.

Foster is not booked to perform, but organizers have secured use of his favourite grand piano for the event.

Tickets are on sale for $300 through Eventbrite.ca or 250-595-9970.

Elton John's plants for sale at downtown Victoria flower shop

 

Potted plants that only days ago graced Sir Elton John's dressing room at Victoria's Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre are now available for purchase.

 

Downtown Victoria's Brown's the Florist has announced that the shop has several potted ferns and other flora for sale that were used to stage the Rocket Man's private quarters during his back-to-back performances on March 11th and 12th.

 

So the plants may not be Elton John's directly, but they'd make for an incredibly unique keep-sake for fans of the British performer.

 

For more information, contact Brown's the Florist or visit their downtown Victoria location in the 700-block of Fort Street.

I suspect Mike's message would make more sense if HB's post had remained. As I recall, the "offending" message was of the toilet humour variety.

I can usually see deleted posts, but noting here.

He doesn't give us the delete button out of fear we'll click it accidentally, then he goes and deletes instead of hides :( :P
