Sir Elton John takes to the stage for a special performance as Celine Dion presents an award at the MFEI Spirit of Life gala


Stars gathered in Los Angeles on Tuesday for the Music, Film and Entertainment Industry gala, which honoured AEG Presents chairman Jay Marciano.

The event, which was held at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall and hosted by US cancer research and treatment organisation City of Hope, saw music legend Elton, 77, delight gala guests with some tunes at his piano. The film features never-before-seen footage including a look into Elton’s handwritten diaries, the audio tapes from the landmark Rolling Stone interview and John Lennon joining him on stage for three songs after his Thanksgiving 1974 Madison Square Garden show. As he prepares for his final concert in North America at Dodger Stadium, Elton takes viewers back in time and recounts the extraordinary highs and heartbreaking lows of his early years and how he overcame adversity, abuse and addiction.
