Elton John gave the final concert at Britain’s legendary Glastonbury Festival on Sunday (June 25), bringing down the curtain on the annual spectacular with what could be his final British performance.

“I never thought I’d ever play Glastonbury,” he told the crowd. “It’s a very special and emotional night for me – it might be my very last show in England, in Great Britain, so I’d better play well and entertain you.”
