Elton John had a history-making set at Glastonbury Festival that early estimates say topped Dolly Parton’s epic 2014 appearance.
He has said it would be his last.
According to Deadline,
The legendary British singer’s three-hour performance drew a near-50% audience share and becomes one of the most-watched TV shows of the year so far, according to Barb data from overnights.tv, just behind Happy Valley.

He was joined on stage by singer-songwriter Stephen Sanchez and The Killers’ frontman Brandon Flowers.
