Episode 4 - It Was 40 Years Ago Today, Grumpy Elton Sacked The Band On Stage
Release Date:
This is the story of the band that Elton essentially sacked, live on stage, entirely out of the blue.
40 years ago, Elton played a charity gig at Wembley Pool. The band were expecting him to announce that he was going out on tour again, with them as his backing band. A very different announcement was made. In this episode we work out what led Elton to make that decision.
Here's a picture of the band in question. Here's the setlist.fm page for the night. Here's the full show on YouTube.
