Sir Elton John, undoubtedly one of the biggest artists in the world, has announced that very special guests 2CELLOS will join him for his forthcoming live show this summer.

2CELLOS (pictured above) are set to open the show at the B2net on Saturday 9th June, as well as in Elton John's other summer shows at Taunton, Harrogate, Falkirk, Newcastle, Birmingham and Blackpool.
Classically trained musicians, 2CELLOS have performed together since January 2011 and in that time have become internet sensations and have landed a major record deal and management contract whilst being taken under the wing of Elton John.
 Last Summer, Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser (2CELLOS), joined Elton John (left) and his band as they toured the world. This year they have also performed as his special guests, opening the show with performances including music from Tchaikovsky to Michael Jackson to Nirvana. This will be their first ever performance in Derbyshire and one that is likely to lead to many more visits.
"Performing live gives us the chance to share our passion and energy for music with the audience. We look forward to doing that across the UK."
As one of the greatest and most successful live artists, Elton's spectacular stage shows continue to leave the competition standing! His shows comprise over two hours of hits from an incredible back catalogue, including such classics as 'Bennie and the Jets', 'Crocodile Rock' and 'Your Song'.
