A second show has been added to Elton John’s Hawai’i visit in January.  Both concerts take place at Honolulu’s Blaisdell Arena–the first on January 6th, and the added concert on January 7th.

The show was added by Tom Moffatt Productions due to overwhelming demand, according to an announcement made today.

The “Greatest Hits Live” concerts feature number one chart hits and classic album tracks spanning Elton’s five-decade career.

Tickets for the Saturday, Jan. 7th concert go on sale on Monday, Oct. 31 at 12 noon.

Tickets are $39, $79 & $139 and will be available online at Ticketmaster.com, at the Blaisdell Center Box Office, or charge by phone at (800) 745-3000. A service charge is added to each ticket, and there is an eight ticket limit per customer.

Elton John is one of the top-selling solo artists of all time, with 35 gold and 25 platinum albums.

Elton John and his band played in Hawai`i earlier this year to sold-out crowds, that included back to back concerts on Maui on February 24 and 25, 2011.  There are no plans as of yet to add a Maui show to the latest Hawai’i visit.
