Elton John, Brandon Flowers Duet At Glastonbury | HuffPost Entertainment

Elton John made his final U.K. concert a memorable one with a career-spanning set list at the Glastonbury Festival featuring some of the most beloved pop hits of all time.

He also had a few surprises in store for fans as he took the Pyramid Stage on Sunday, including a new take on Tiny Dancer, which he reworked into a duet with The Killers lead singer Brandon Flowers.

There were rumors online that John would be joined by Britney Spears for her first concert appearance in nearly five years.

That didnt come to pass, but he did bring out a few guests, including Flowers, who joined him for a killer take on the 1972 hit:
