Elton John is currently touring Australia solo for the first time in his nearly 40 year career, but last night's show in Sydney was special.
It was dedicated to his friend, Australian-born EMI record executive Ken East who passed away on the weekend.He told the crowd before opening the show, "Tonight is also very special because I want to dedicate the whole show to a friend of mine who passed away on Sunday, Ken East.
"Ken was probably without a doubt one of the greatest record men I have ever met.
"He was a great man. He was also a great Australian, which is more important."
East spent much of his time overseas, but loved to return to Australia and look over the ocean. He died on Sunday at his Sydney home.
