Watford gig raises £1.3million
Monday, June 20 2005 |
Elton John has suggested he wants money raised by the fund-raising concert for Watford on June 18, 2005 to go to boss Adrian Boothroyd for player purchases.
Drawing 23,000 fans, the concert raised £1.3million, money originally intended to fund Vicarage Road's £7.6m repurchase.
Elton has supported the Hornets nearly all of his life and was a former vice president and club chairman. Early on in the concert he said: "We've raised £1.3m, I want that money to be spent on players."
Elton also promised to play another fund-raising concert at Vicarage Road in 2007 to celebrate his 60th birthday.
