An Elton John fanatic from Dromore Co Tyrone is refusing to leave the field he was in at Glastonbury in case Elton John does an encore and sings Step Into Christmas, FIVE DAYS after the event ended.

Patsy McMenamin, who has followed Elton John since Rocket Man came out in 1972 because of his love for rockets and spaceships, has tied himself to a tree at the venue in the chance that Elton might reappear and do a rendition of Step Into Christmas which is his second favourite song.

Organisers and stewards are currently holding a meeting regarding cutting down the tree and dragging McMenamin from the site with a rope and a tractor.

McMenamin fumed:

“He’ll come on yet. His mobility isn’t great and combined with his memory loss, it is perfectly reasonable to expect him to remember he hasn’t sang Step Into Christmas. I’ll give him til Sunday which is a week. If he doesn’t come back to sing it, it’s the last buckin time I’ll go to see him.”

If Elton does return he’ll have to sing it on the field without a microphone as the stage and electrics have now gone.
