Elton John ended his historic career with a bang at Glastonbury 2023, ensuring that the preparations for his farewell gig were nothing short of spectacular. The Rocketman left no stone unturned when it came to rehearsals, as he hired out London’s iconic Wembley Arena for practice sessions with his guest stars, including Gabriels frontman Jacob Lusk who performed a duet with him at the show.
Lusk praised Elton’s work ethic, calling him the hardest working man in show business. Despite having a show in Paris just the day before Glastonbury, Elton flew back to London for rehearsals at Wembley Arena. The fact that Elton booked such a prestigious venue for mere rehearsals is a true testament to his legendary status.
Reflecting on the moment when Elton first invited him to perform, Lusk shared a humorous anecdote about receiving an unexpected phone call from the music icon. The soul trio Gabriels, of which Lusk is a member, are now focused on their second album following the success of their debut album, “Angels & Queens.” Lusk hinted at a more wild and fun direction for the new album, promising fans an exciting musical journey ahead.
