Sir Elton has 'em rocking at the arena
10:42pm Saturday 5th July 2008
Darlington rocked to the sound of Sir Elton John this evening as thousands of fans celebrated a new era in Darlington FC's £20m stadium.
Not even a thunderstorm could dampen the delirium as Sir Elton strode on stage dressed in a black suit and purple shirt to belt out some of his greatest hits.
Officials at the football club hope the concert's success will lead to more big name attractions to help put Darlington on the live entertainment map.
Read all about the concert in Monday's Northern Echo which will have a four page special devoted to Elton's big night out.
