Elton John to Serenade Hillary Clinton

British music icon Elton John joins the ranks of celebrities supporting Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign, as he will hold a special “one night only” solo concert on April 9 at Radio City Music Hall in New York for the democratic candidate.

Elton John will hold his first solo concert in New York in nearly eight years next month, to show his support for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential bid. Tickets for the April 9 fundraiser go on sale Wednesday, March 19, the New York Times reports.

Music loving Clinton supporters will have to pay $125 for Mezzanine seats while orchestra seats will go for $250. Clinton supporters with deeper pockets can also choose between gold, platinum and diamond orchestra seats available for $500, $1,000 and $2,300.

Supporters who raise $10,000 or more for the concert will gain access to a private reception with Mr. John, Mrs. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, the Times adds.

The 60-year-old British-born crooner promises that the concert he will hold for his “friend” Hillary Clinton “will be one night that you won’t want to miss.”

“There is nothing I like better than throwing a party for a good friend,” John wrote in an e-mail sent to all those on Clinton’s e-mail list, the Times reports. “Will you come out to support my friend Hillary Clinton at a special, one-night-only solo concert in New York? I promise this will be one night that you won’t want to miss.”

The event is called “Elton and Hillary: One Night Only,” and is John’s first public solo concert in New York since his October 2000 performance at Madison Square Garden.

“I’m not a politician but I believe in the work that Hillary Clinton does,” the singer said in the campaign’s statement. “I’m excited to support Hillary by performing at what will be a truly memorable night.”
