The BBC will screen a full Elton John live show later this month, exclusively on iPlayer. John’s performance was recorded in June at the Eden Project in Cornwall, as part of the long-running Eden Sessions programme.

Says the musician: “The Eden Sessions shows we did in June were so exciting for my band and myself. The Eden Project is a very beautiful venue with a joyous atmosphere, and it brought a smile to my face every time I looked out to the audience to see so many people of all ages enjoying my music! That’s what it’s all about – it’s why I do what I do”.

BBC Music Editor James Stirling added: “We’re really excited to bring this iconic performance with Elton to BBC iPlayer for music fans to enjoy at home or on the go, whenever and wherever they are”.

The BBC is experimenting with various iPlayer-only content currently, with specific plans to screen more music programmes – last month the broadcaster called on independent production companies to pitch new music-based shows aimed specifically at women.

‘Elton Live At Eden’ will be available from midday on 23 Oct.
