BLACKPOOL, U.K. — Worsening weather forced an early end to an Elton John concert at the Blackpool Tower Headland outdoor arena on June 17. Some 11,000 were attending the performance at the new outdoor venue, which was able to proceed for close to two hours before being cut short by about half an hour.
“I have been told there is some really bad weather on the way,” John said from the stage, according to published reports. “The police say you need to leave right now in an orderly fashion. I’m sorry but I don’t want anyone to be hurt.”
No injuries were reported.
