Singha Corporation Presents Elton John and His Band

Live in Bangkok 2012- 40th Anniversary of the Rocket Man

Celebrating 40 Years of a Superb Hit in Bangkok

Elton John

BANGKOK: -- Music icon, singer, songwriter, pianist and composer Elton John returns to Thailand this winter to celebrate 40 years since his top hit Rocket Man was launched. Elton John will grace the stage at Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani with his one night only gig Singha Corporation Presents

Elton John and His Band Live in Bangkok 2012 – 40th Anniversary of the Rocket Man on December 13th, 2012.

Forty years ago, in April 1972, Elton John released the single Rocket Man (I Think It’s Going To Be A Long Long Time) which went on to great chart success and received critical acclaim worldwide. The single entered the UK charts on April 22, reaching the number 2 position and staying on the chart for 13 weeks. In the USA the single entered the Billboard chart on May 6 and reached the number 6 position, staying in the US chart for 15 weeks. These were the highest positions achieved so far by an Elton John single in the UK and the USA. To celebrate the landmark 40th anniversary of its release, Sir Elton John is taking the celebrations globally for a world tour with Thailand as one of the stops.

Elton John’s monumental career has spanned more than five decades. One of the top-selling solo artists of all time, Elton has 35 gold and 25 platinum albums under his belt as well as 29 consecutive US Top 40 hits. He has sold more than 250-million records worldwide and holds the record for the biggest selling single of all time, Candle in the Wind ’97, which sold over 37 million copies. Since his career began in 1969, Elton has played over 3,000 concerts worldwide.

Elton John’s one night only live performance in Bangkok, Singha Corporation Presents Elton John and His Band Live in Bangkok 2012 – 40th Anniversary of the Rocket Man is surely a not-to-be-missed music event of the year.

I think we have better and more important things to worry about than watching Elton John. You're doing the evenly corrupt entertainment business a favor by filling money into their pockets

Gone are the days when songs stayed in the charts for many months. These days, a song shoots into the top 10 for a week or two and then disappears into the ether.

Elton opens a new beaut venue in Perth ,West Oz , on this tour.

Returns To Thailand This Winter

Oh, you mean back in the days when a band meant musicians playing instruments?

"I think" I "have better and more important things to worry about than watching Elton John"

There, fixed that for you.

I, for one, would like to see him one more time before he stops touring altogether.

Save your outrage at the entertainment business for the massive dinosaurs that have been leeching off artists, for as long as there have been artists and are now so fat they can buy laws.

I saw Elton John in concert back in the States. He puts on a great concert. Hope to catch this one.

Elton rocks!!

It's a little bit funny.

Seems article above missed the link to tickets: http://www.thaiticketmajor.com/concert/concert-detail.php?sid=1535

Elton is a great artist. I'll be there.

Who's worrying about it, you ringpiece. We've all got better things to do probably, but now and again some of us like to be entertained, corrupt industry or not.

Don't suppose you've ever bought a CD, DVD, switched on the television, gone to a movie, listened to music in a bar, etc.,have you?

What better things? Be a Senator and shoot the ex? Take money for your wifes vote so Taksin can come back? How about be in Chalerms one of 7 in 3 months clubs? What better to do,

I have better things to do, but on the 13th of December I can not think of anything better than going to see Elton John in Bangkok.

My tickets are booked already.....

FD

There are some sad folks on here.

This is exactly what I want to know .

I don't think there would be to many Thais who could afford the 2,000 baht ticket prices or are these the farang prices and Thai citizen prices start at 30 baht?

Thanks for that link just picked up 4 of the "good" seats.

Never had the chance to see him before and that goes

way back to the early 70's...seems a war and work took

me in other directions than his concert venues. Look for

an old geezer in a railroad engineers cap...that'll be moi.

Concerts at those prices are full of Thais.

Here's the English link to the one that Konfuzed posted

for TV members who can't read Thai...

Really geez, Paying 25% of your monthly wage is a lot.. A little like me trying to find around $1,500 AUD for the cheapest ticket. far to expensive

Concerts for international artists of this caliber have been similarly high for many years now, and yes, attract mostly Thais. Don't see anything unusual in this.

What a ridiculous comment to make. Keep your misplaced bitterness to yourself.

Another date is scheduled on december 14.

This time it will be unplugged, and will only play flute at pattaya... soi boyztown

There really are some stupid comments posted on here. I suppose that you only know Thais that come from poor villages, never got an education and a good job. Guess what? There are many successful, wealthy Thais that will be at the concert. Can't afford a ticket?

An old entertainers entertainer. Saw a few of his concerts before - very good with Visual Effects etc (VFX) and sound makes his concerts very good. Worth a few Baht.

Careful. He's a married man!

Yes I am sure there will be many wealthy Thais at the concert, my wife and I included. I was only commenting on that your average Thai may never afford a concert like this. Your average farang certainly can. Yes I do know educated Thais with jobs.

He did not go down well at his last appearance in Bkk. Thais expect a show for their money, not just an old bloke sitting at a piano belting out past glories. Hope he has some better advice for this one.

I am not into his scene but I am sure that there are a few in Thailand that are. The ladyboys will be flocking to his show I am sure.
