Madame Tussauds London has created the most technically ambitious figure to date, a gravity-defying waxwork of Elton John celebrating his iconic 1970s stage presence.
Madame Tussauds have unveiled a new waxwork of Elton John and it's their most structurally ambitious figure ever. The statue features the iconic musician in his 1970s heyday as he defies gravity and is suspended mid-air over his rhinestone piano in his signature handstand move from the era. Celebrating Elton's out-of-this-world stage presence, this brand-new show-stopping figure is styled from his legendary 1975 Midsummer Music one-day festival at Wembley Stadium.
He gave the Madame Tussauds London team access to the original bejewelled blue Bob Mackie jumpsuit worn for the performance, which they have expertly recreated along with his signature flamboyant glasses and platform shoes. The attraction worked with Yamaha to create a bespoke baby grand piano that is covered in 24,000 thousand rhinestones to complete the gravity-defying spectacle. Steve Blackburn, General Manager at Madame Tussauds London, said: 'Elton John is a true living legend and a dazzling personality to behold, so we knew we had to go above and beyond for this figure. Capturing Elton's phenomenal stage presence – and that iconic keyboard handstand – in figure form is quite the challenge, and the result is one of our most technically ambitious figures to date'
