Tour Entouraging Isn’t All That Simple ……..

Poor Darrell just couldn’t get his head round the amount of stuff Hugh has to pack as a member of the UK entourage leg of Sir Elt’s Farewell Yellow Brick Tour

In his mind’s eye he thought that at the very most it might include an ample suitcase, with perhaps an additional roomy tote for taking on the tour bus (and possibly helicopter) and then a neat crossover man-bag for backstage ………

…… how wrong he was!

Hugh has his own trailer (of course, nothing in comparison to Sir Elt’s), but nevertheless large enough for a whole fleet of large, wheeled boxes packed, Hugh told him, with only the very barest of essentials.

Though he had to cater for every eventuality, life on the Yellow Brick Road was not going to be all glitz, glamour, sequin jackets 24/7 with the obligatory change of glasses  …… one or two home comforts had to be left behind, it was all part and parcel of touring with a National Treasure like what Sir Elt is, an experience for which, especially for Hugh, there is no sacrifice!

That is amazing.

Doubtless Sir Elton of the John will take far more. I bet Sit Elton on the John has many assistants. I suspect that Sin Elton in the John's man that does has his own man that does.

Sir Elton John is incredibly talented - singer, songwriter, pianist and showman extraordinaire.
