Sir Elton John has been offered $5million
Sir Elton John has been offered $5million to play an hour-long gig for a female Russian tycoon.
Mega-rich Elton, 61, would pocket $1,392 a SECOND if he agrees to perform at the launch of her swish Moscow hotel. A source said: “Initially Elton turned her down because he’s so busy.
“But when the offer crossed the $3.9 million barrier it was too much to refuse, even for someone of his means. And let’s be honest, $5million buys a hell of a lot of flowers. He’s on the verge of saying yes.”
Elton would be flown to the autumn launch by private jet. Security guards would escort him to the hotel in the posh Rublyovka district; where he would play classics, thought likely to include Daniel and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, before flying straight home.
His fee would be the record paid for a single artist for a gig.
