Sir Elton John, Billy Joel, Sheryl Crow and more performed at the eighth annual Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation Grand Slam for Children benefit concert at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, October 4, 2003.

The event raises money to assist less fortunate children in Agassi's hometown of Las Vegas. A record $12.6 million was raised this year.

Elton John, Sheryl Crow, Curt Smith from pop band Tears for Fears, singers Renee Olstead and Sarah McLachlan and Roland Orzabal from Tears for Fears, perform during the finale of the show.

Billy Joel did attend despite the fact that he had broken his wrist a few days earlier.

During the show Elton was wearing an oversized bib. A hidden homage to Amy? Just kidding ...
