Ant and Dec rock out at Elton John's Paris gig after icon's UK farewell at Glastonbury

Elton John might have played is final gig in the UK, but two homegrown stars headed to Europe to see on Tuesday, with Ant and Dec rocking out in the crowd of his packed out Paris show.

Music icon Elton the man who has given the world hit after hit with classics like Your Song, Daniel, Rocket Man and I'm Still Standing brought the curtain down on another year of Glastonbury on Sunday night, when an enormous crowd gathered in front of the Pyramid Stage to see him deliver a superb two hour set, which saw him joined by guests including Rina Sawayama and Brandon Flowers.

Anticipation for Elton John's Glastonbury set was heightened by the fact it had been well publicised that it would be his goodbye UK tours, having played at countless venues over the last year on his Farewell to Yellow Brick Road tour. Stars like Paul McCartney and Kate Hudson watched Elton at the world famous festival and, while they weren't at Worthy Farm, Geordie presenters Ant and Dec were in the audience at Paris' Accor Arena to see him in action.

The Britain's Got Talent stars looked like were having an absolute ball as they watched the global icon do his thing, filming themselves singing one of his many anthems, Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting) from their seats, as Elton could be seen in the background of the video they posted on their Instagram story.

In the aftermath of his epic Glastonbury star turn, Elton took to Instagram to post: "The energy last night was like nothing else, and I couldn’t be more grateful to the crowd and the people watching at home for all your love and support. You will be in my heart and soul forever. UK, what a farewell. I love you."
