The home of the Watford Football Club is undergoing a huge transformation ahead of Elton John's performance this weekend!

On Sunday the global megastar- who's an Honorary Life-President of the Hornets - will take to the stage at Vicarage Road

He'll also perform on Sunday - as his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour continues.

A statement on the club's website said: "The performances mark Sir Elton’s fourth and fifth - and final - occasions performing at his beloved ground, having last played at the home of the Hornets in 2010."

"More than 30,000 packed into the stadium in May 1974 for the first performance, as Sir Elton started to grow his involvement with his boyhood club, while he also performed his Back For Our Future concert at The Vic in 2005.

"Preparations are well underway at The Vic for the concert, with the stage being built throughout the week. The wall by the Sir Elton John Stand now also adorns a mural of the singer, created by MurWalls earlier this month. You can catch a glimpse of the impressive artwork from Occupation Road."
