WATCH LIVE: Elton John plays the White House lawn as part of farewell tour.

[elleng]

Elton John was all in on a plan to perform at the White House before the world-famous rockin’ piano player hangs it up — he says — for good.

The event is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. ET. Watch the concert in the player above.

John was swinging by the South Lawn on Friday night for a show he’s calling “A Night When Hope and History Rhyme,” a reference to a poem by Irishman Seamus Heaney that President Joe Biden often quotes.

It will be John’s first White House gig since he performed with Stevie Wonder at a state dinner in 1998 honoring British Prime Minister Tony Blair. At age 75, John is on a farewell tour after performing for more than 50 years.
