US NEWSPAPER - The Hollywood Reporter
Headline: Elton John talking 3-year deal for Dion's theater
NASHVILLE -- The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, the state-of-the-art Las Vegas showroom built for Celine Dion, is getting some new high-profile guests. Gloria Estefan will play seven shows Oct. 10-19 at the Colosseum. What's more, Billboard Bulletin has learned that Elton John is in negotiations for a three-year, $54 million engagement beginning in 2004. Dion completed her first run of dates at the 4,100-capacity, $95 million showplace on July 6, wrapping up 65 sellouts that grossed about $36 million. Other artists scheduled to perform at the venue include Tim McGraw (July 18-19) and Mariah Carey (July 26). "We always intended for other artists to play this venue," says John Meglen, co-president of Concerts West, producers of the Dion extravaganza and promoters for the Colosseum. "There are 12 weeks a year when Celine is not playing." (Ray Waddell, Billboard)

ENGLAND CONCERT - Powderham Castle, Exeter
Elton John solo concert. The following appeared in The Echo newspaper before the show:
King of pop Elton John has spoken of his excitment at playing in front of thousands of fans at a stately home near Exeter tonight.
Elton is expected to fly in by helicopter shortly before his concert at Powderham Castle.
He told the Echo: "It is interesting to play different venues and locations around the world and this is one of the more unusual ones I have played on this tour.
"I recently played Red Square and although this venue is nothing like that, I am expecting the concert to be equally memorable.
"I can't wait to play."
Sir Elton's show at the Kremlin took place last month in front of 6,000 fans - less than half the number expected tonight in Devon.

UK ENHANCED CD SINGLE - Are You Ready For
Love?
Ultra Records
The August 21 issue of the New Musical Express music paper contained an interview with Elton John. Regarding the new single, Elton was asked, "Was it a surprise to suddenly find yourself toast of the dance music scene with Are You Ready For Love?" Elton: "Totally, because this record was made in 1977 and I remixed it in 1979. It got released on an EP in America and then I forgot about it. So when someone said it was a big hit on the dancefloor I was completely gobsmacked. I hadn't listened to it for 25 years."

Partial set list.
Elton John headlines the show for 150,000 people attending the 100th Anniversary Harley-Davidson Motorcycle festival. Hosted by Dan Aykroyd, other performers were The Doobie Brothers, Tim McGraw and Kid Rock. There was no advance notice of his appearance on the bill.

Eventually the organizers open up the front VIP section to anyone that wants to move there.

US TV - Oprah Winfrey Show
An All Star tribute to Aretha Franklin.
In a recorded message, Elton said: "Nobody sings like Aretha. Nobody has that kind of presence on stage. That voice, the piano playing. She's a fantastic piano player. So she influenced me a lot by her piano playing, and her gospel leanings as well, because I love that kind of music. How could you not be influenced by the sheer voice, the soul and the passion that came from it? She was a soul singer with a capital 'S' for soul. No one's got a bigger soul than Aretha.
Aretha, I kneel at your feet, I worship the ground that you walk on, you are the greatest singer, the greatest piano player, and you've given me so much joy, so much inspiration, I can't thank you enough. I wish I could be there in person to give you the biggest hug, but I am in Atlanta, and I'm sure the whole city sends you as much love as I do now."
