Elton John

In July 1985, Elton John took the stage at Wembley Stadium for the iconic Live Aid concert, delivering an electrifying performance of 'Can I Get A Witness.' Just prior to this monumental event, he had released the album 'Ice on Fire' in 1985, which featured tracks like 'Nikita.' At this point in his career, Elton was experiencing a resurgence after some challenging years, balancing mainstream popularity with artistic evolution. Fun fact: this performance was notable not just for the audience of 72,000 but also because it showcased his ability to inspire and unite people through music during a pivotal moment for charity and awareness around global issues. The 1985 concert highlighted how deeply connected his music was to both personal and larger social contexts.
