Martin Good, Badger's bass player, told Hawkes Bay Today their set was nipped in the bud when Sir Elton came out of his dressing room saying, "What's that racket?". Sir Elton's appearances in Napier come either side of a dash across the Pacific to appear at the Oscars. Sir Elton's Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour continues to Auckland and Australia later this month as part of his long-running final tour.
