Entertainment Corporation, one of the world's leading gaming companies, have
signed an exclusive agreement for the artist to perform 75 shows over three
years at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, beginning on February 13,
2004.
To create a unique
environment in the 4,100-seat Colosseum, the renowned photographer and director
David LaChappelle will serve as the production designer and director for Elton
John's Colosseum engagements titled "The Red Piano." Creating a distinctive
show, exclusive to Caesars Palace, LaChappelle will blend Elton's breathtaking
music with vibrant visual imagery making these Colosseum engagements a unique
spectacular unlike any previous Elton John performance.
Elton John will be
performing with his band: Davey Johnstone on guitar; Guy Babylon on keyboards;
Bob Birch on bass guitar; John Mahon on percussion; and Nigel Olsson on drums.
"By bringing Elton John, one
of the best-known and best-loved performers in the world, to an extended
engagement at Caesars Palace, we've established The Colosseum as the nation's
premier musical showcase for top tier talent," said Park Place President and
Chief Executive Officer Wallace R. Barr.
"Today, Caesars Palace again
boasts a full-house of elite entertainers so famous that each is known by a
single name: Elton, Celine, Seinfeld," said Caesars Palace President Mark
Juliano. "We are honored to welcome an artist of Elton John's caliber to The
Colosseum," Juliano added.
The newly announced
performances by Elton John will not alter the show schedule for "A New Day..."
starring Celine Dion.
The legendary career of
international singer/songwriter and performer Elton John has spanned more that
three decades. By all measures, he is one of the world's most successful
touring artists and one of the top-selling solo artists of all time. Elton John
has sold more than 200 million records worldwide, with 29 consecutive Top 40
Hits, earning 35 gold and 25 platinum albums.
Elton John has been
recognized by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences with multiple
Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Legend Award as well as the MusicCares
person of the year by the MusicCares Foundation. He collaborated with lyricist
Tim Rice, creating the soundtrack to the Walt Disney Pictures blockbuster The
Lion King, for which his music won an Academy Award.
The Lion King
later debuted on Broadway and continues to be a long-running musical success.
The Lion King received six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, as well
as a Grammy for Best Musical Show Album. After Elton John's second musical, the
Tony Award-winning "Aida" opened on Broadway, he and Tim Rice won a Tony for
Best Score, and Elton John was honored with another Grammy for the Best Musical
Show Album.
He has recently finished
writing music with Lee Hall for the stage production of "Billy Elliot," which
will be opening in London in 2004. Currently, he is working on the songs and
lyrics for Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures Broadway Musical "Vampire Lestat" with
long time writing partner Bernie Taupin.
His most recent album is
"ELTON JOHN - GREATEST HITS 1970 - 2002" (Universal 2002) which has gone
double-platinum. This two-CD, 34-selection digitally remastered album includes
every Elton-penned original Top-10 pop hit -- all 22 of them.

Palace is a contemporary interpretation of one of antiquity's architectural
