There was a bomb scare at this gig which resulted in the venue being evacuated. David Stopps had the unenviable task of walking on to the stage and whispering into Elton's ear, mid-song, to leave the building.

  Elton went on to become one of Britain's most successful and flamboyant performers and apart from becoming chairman of Watford Football Club in the 1970/1980s where he helped put them on the map, he still plays stadium shows in 2010. Olsson and Johnstone are still part of his band. Elton was knighted in 1998
