KAHULUI — Due to strong demand, a second Elton John concert has been added on Thursday, Feb. 24, at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center.

For two nights, John and his band will perform their “Greatest Hits Live” concert, featuring number one chart hits and classic album tracks from throughout Elton’s incredible, five-decade career.
