Singer Elton John will return to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace to perform his hits on the "The Million Dollar Piano" show for October 2016 and February 2017.

John made a triumphant return to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace with his all new show, "The Million Dollar Piano." At the centerpiece of the performance is the show's namesake piano, an engineering marvel featuring more than 68 LED video screens created by Yamaha.

John's band features Nigel Olsson on drums, part of his original three-piece band, as well as musical director Davey Johnstone (who first recorded with John in 1971 and joined the band a year later) on guitar, Matt Bissonette on bass, John Mahon on percussion, and Kim Bullard on keyboards, with a special appearance by percussionist Ray Cooper.

"The Million Dollar Piano" features hits and classic album tracks from throughout John's five-decade career.

John is one of the top-selling solo artists of all time, with 38 gold and 27 platinum or multi-platinum albums as well as 58 Billboard Top 40 singles, and he has sold more than 250 million records worldwide.

John holds the record for the biggest-selling single of all time, "Candle in the Wind 1997," which sold 33 million copies, as well as for most appearances on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart with his 2015 single "Looking Up" marking his 71st entry.

He has also written the music for stage and screen successes Billy Elliot: The Musical, Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida, and The Lion King, which was recently named the highest-grossing stage show or film release in the world.
