Over seven million people tuned in to watch John's set which he has said will be his last ever UK concert. According to the BBC, the performance was viewed by 7.3 million people though that figure does not include people who watched on iPlayer.
The headline set had a 50% audience share and almost twice as many viewers as Paul McCartney's performance last year.
John's set — which has garnered critical acclaim — featured special guests Brandon Flowers, Rina Sawayama, Jacob Lusk and Stephen Sanchez. There had earlier been speculation that the music legend might be joined by stars such as Britney Spears, Dua Lipa and Eminem – all artists John had previously collaborated with.
John is set to continue his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour around Europe before wrapping up his live performing career in Sweden next month.
The tour is already the highest grossing tour in history.
