Elton John enthralled a massive Glastonbury crowd on Sunday night in possibly his last show in Britain, delighting loyal fans but disappointing others who had hoped for star guest appearances, El.kz cites Reuters.

The flamboyant British singer's performance followed two sun-drenched days at the famous music festival in southwest England, where tens of thousands of fans heard Guns N' Roses, the Arctic Monkeys, the Foo Fighters, Lizzo, Lewis Capaldi and others.

"I hate to say that, since he championed some real, local people, like Rina Sawayama. But I think there was a lot of talk in the crowd that it's going to be Britney or Eminem or big names."

John, 76, is nearing the end of his final tour, of which Glastonbury was the last British show.

"I want to thank you all for dressing up in your costumes and your glasses and your outfits," he told the sea of humanity before him, which was punctuated by many in glittery outfits and glasses.

"I want to thank you also for 52 years of amazing love and loyalty that you've shown me. It's been an incredible journey, and I've had the best, best time."
