Elton John opens Arena
The First Direct Arena in Leeds officially opens tonight with Elton John taking to the stage.
Elton delights his fans
Elton John made sure the First Direct Arena in Leeds was given a sensational opening with a set lasting over two hours. Sir Elton welcomed the crowd, saying it was "great to play this wonderful new place", especially as it was his first gig back for a while.
The prolific artist, who releases his 30th solo album later this month, was performing just days after he was awarded the inaugural Brit Icon Award.
