Merry Christmas & a happy New Year 2015
Friday, December 12 2014

We would like to wish you, your families and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas season and all the best for a successful New Year.

For Elton - it seems - 2014 has been pretty much dominated by the 40th anniversary celebrations for his landmark album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" (make sure to check out our Special News about Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 2014). But there have been other noteworthy anniversaries in the course of the past 12 months.

The album "Caribou" also celebrated its 40 years jubilee - not as much observed as the anniversary of its predecessory, but at least valued live on stage by hits such as "The Bitch is Back" and "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me", which Elton has performed during nearly all of his 100+ concerts in 2014.

But 2014 also marked the 30th anniversary of Elton's marriage with Renate Blauel as well as the 10th anniversary of his Las Vegas residency, which started with "The Red Piano" back in 2004 and is currently still running as "The Million Dollar Piano" with further shows announced for 2015.

As for the ending year, there is one more show left for Elton and the band to do: On December 31, 2014 he will transition into the New Year live on stage at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. And he will do so as a married man, as Elton and David are expected to tie the knot at their home in Windsor in front of just 50 friends and family on December 21, 2014.

Shortly thereafter Elton and David will celebrate the fourth birthday of their first sun Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John on December 25, 2014. And Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John will turn two on January 11, 2014.

As for other exciting news for 2015, we keep hearing rumours that Elton and the band will be heading into the studio in February 2015. So it appears that work on a new studio album will commence soon and - contrary to the past two albums for which Elton worked with session musicians - it will feature the Elton John band again. Still rumours for now, but nevertheless exciting.

For us it is time again to thank you for your loyalty and support throughout the ending year. And we would like to wish you, your families and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas season and all the best for a successful New Year.

Your Hercules Team!
