Leslie Cheung almost 17 years ago

Sir Elton John played AsiaWorld-Arena last night (May 20) as part of his Rocket Man World Tour. Before the show started, there was an announcement to ask the audience to pay a one-minute silent tribute to those who suffered from the recent earthquake in Sichuan, China. Sir Elton John also dedicated the show's first number "Funeral For A Friend" and "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" during the encore section to the victims of the earthquake. The show was fantastic and his performance was stunning. The crowd went wild when those famous numbers were played. Returing from the encore break, Sir Elton even signed for the crowd in front of the stage.
