Yesterday Elton John celebrated his 60th birthday by doing something very special; no, not playing Madison Square Garden for the 60th time – we mean Elton John somehow spent a night on stage without bitching about everything like a crotchety old git.

Elton John’s 60th birthday was marked last night with his 60th performance at Madison Square Garden in New York in front of 20,000 fans and guests like Bill Clinton, Whoopi Goldberg and Robin Williams. Don’t worry if you missed it, though, because Elton John’s 60th birthday concert will be shown on ITV later this week – giving you the viewer the once in a lifetime chance to see Elton John sing a bunch of songs that he’s sung a billion times before while Kate Thornton asks ridiculously asinine questions to the man who was directly involved with two separate peace agreements between Israel and Palestine.
