Elton John's new wax figure is Madame Tussauds' 'most ambitious ever' as the iconic singer defies gravity over his rhinestone piano


The statute features the iconic musician in his 1970s heyday as he defies gravity as and is suspended mid-air over his rhinestone piano in his signature handstand move from the era.

He gave the Madame Tussauds London team access to the original bejewelled blue Bob Mackie jumpsuit worn for the performance, which they have expertly recreated along with his signature flamboyant glasses and platform shoes. Steve Blackburn, General Manager at Madame Tussauds London, said: 'Elton John is a true living legend and a dazzling personality to behold, so we knew we had to go above and beyond for this figure. Despite the addition of a festive feather boa, balloons and confetti, chaos reigns as they wrangle an escaped turkey, fail to book a real reindeer and tackle a deranged fan who storms the set.
