It's been announced today that he is to take ownership of a couple of Spireites replica shirts ahead of his big concert at the B2net Stadium, which takes place on Saturday 9th June 2012.
The World's biggest rock star has requested a replica Chesterfield shirt for himself, with No 9 on the back, and a replica shirt for 'No1 son' Zachary.
Chesterfield's Director of Marketing, Alan Stevenson said. "Elton John retains his keen interest in football as honorary life president of Watford FC, but his support for the Spireites is not so well-known - and so we are delighted to meet his request."
The concert is the biggest ever to be staged in Chesterfield and the last few tickets are now on sale.
