Though Elton John's itinerary for the first half of 2011 is so far dominated by stops in his native England and in Europe, the pop legend has also confirmed some gigs in North America.
During February and March, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer so far is scheduled to play two shows in Victoria, British Columbia, one night in the Boston area, two shows at New York's Madison Square Garden, and one concert in Eugene, OR.
John opens his 2011 touring season with a series of January and February concerts in Europe with percussionist Ray Cooper. All North American shows will feature John's full band.

His June calendar includes dates in the U.K, Ireland and Germany -- all with his full band -- and a solo appearance on the Isle of Man.
John's latest album is "The Union," a T Bone Burnett-produced set he recorded with old friend

Pop icon Lady Gaga girds for a big announcement on New Year’s Eve.
Twitter fans of Lady Gaga are infinitely excited about what the 24 year old singer has in store for them in 2011. Most of Lady Gaga followers are predicting that the announcement pertains to her upcoming album entitled “Born This Way”. Maybe, she will be unveiling the album cover via her Twitter account.




Anyway, Gaga has been very vocal about her dedication in completing “Born This Way”. She says the new record is a marriage of several music genres. Also, the Monster Queen Lady Gaga will have another step up her high-rising career. Lady Gaga will be having collaboration with Sir Elton John next year.
The two singers had recorded a duet for an upcoming Disney film which has a working title “Gnomeo and Juliet.” From the title of the film, it seems that the duet will be anticipated by each of the fans of the two singers.
Sir Elton John was the first to publicly announced that he and Lady Gaga will be collaborating a song for the Disney film “Gnomeo and Juliet.” The singer spilled the news in an interview on “The View” just this week. Though this was not the first time that the two singers are teaming up for a song. They were first seen singing together at a music awards, where Sir Elton sang Lady Gaga’s song, and Lady Gaga sang Elton’s songs.
The music track is titled “Hello, Hello.” Speculations are spreading that this will be the original soundtrack of the “Gnomeo and Juliet” film, but none from the people of Disney has confirmed this. The song was produced by Elton John himself and his partner David Furnish.
The song is now tagged as the “charming pop track” in all of the songs for the film. This charming pop track will be playing in the event when the two leading animated actors, lawn ornaments named Gnomeo and Juliet, meet for the first time. The film is set up to be premiering on February 11, 2011.
The character Gnomeo will be voiced by Scotsman James McAvoy, and Juliet will be voiced by English actress Emily Blunt. The film is about “two smitten garden gnomes whose romance is put to the test as they become caught up in a fracas between neighbors.”
