Supermodel Cheryl Tiegs, supermodel and actress Elizabeth Hurley and rockers Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne were among the jam-packed crowd dancing in the aisles during Elton John’s Red Piano farewell show at The Colosseum in Caesars Palace tonight.

We talked with all of them, and we’ll have that report tomorrow morning. Sir Elton received a standing ovation for each of his 16 songs. His concert started 12 minutes late and ran 30 minutes longer than normal.

Elton told the crowd that he hoped he would see them again back in Las Vegas one day. Caesars Palace President Gary Selesner told Vegas DeLuxe “he is always welcome to return. The door will always be open for him.”

Check back here for full photo coverage and star interviews tomorrow morning.
