Sir Elton John to play Vicarage Road as part of Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour

Sir Elton John has announced two homecoming shows at Watford Football Club.

The singer will play at Vicarage Road in July to finish the European leg of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, which he says will be his last.

Sir Elton became chairman of the club in 1976 and now has the role of honorary life-president at the Premier League club.

He said: "I simply had to play Vicarage Road a final time."

The Candle In The Wind singer oversaw a period of great success for Watford FC after appointing Graham Taylor as manager of his boyhood team in 1977.
