Elton John

Grammy-winning legend Elton John will perform in Korea next month.

On Nov. 27, John will hold a small concert at Hyundai Card Understage, a venue that seats just 500 guests. This will mark his third visit to Seoul.

The performance will be part of the singer-songwriter’s “All the Hits” world tour and is set to feature guitarist David Johnstone, bassist Matt Bissonette, percussionist John Mahon, drummer Nigel Olsson and Kim Ballard on the keyboard.

“Because John has been here twice before, we wanted to put together a concert unlike any he’s ever staged, and he liked the idea,” said a Hyundai Card staffer.

John has sold more than 300 million records over his career, which has spanned five decades and featured more than 50 “Top 40” hits. His single “Candle in the Wind (1997)” sold more than 33 million copies worldwide and is a favorite in Korea.

Tickets are available through Interpark starting today. For more information, visit www.understage.hyundaicard.com.
