Elton John has proven to be a man of his word. The “Rocket Man” legend kept a promise he made to students in England. Some of the students at Telford Priory School released a cover of John’s 1983 hit “I’m Still Standing” during covid lockdown and the icon said he was “blown away” in a message.

Additionally, the “Crocodile Rock” hitmaker promised the students tickets to one of his concerts whenever he was able to perform live again. Sure enough, John is bringing the students to one of his final touring performances in Birmingham, UK on June 10th.

Insiders say John and his husband David Furnish reached out to the school and told them to “take their pick” of dates. The class’s teacher, Ben Millington, said he knew John- who encouraged the students to pursue a career in music “because you have certainly got talent”- would make good on his promise.
