Elton John performs at White House for first time since 1998

Elton John was all in on a plan to perform at the White House before he hangs it up — he says — for good.

The world-famous rockin' piano player swung by the South Lawn on Friday night for a show he was calling "A Night When Hope and History Rhyme," a reference to a poem by Irishman Seamus Heaney that President Biden often quotes.

Eager viewers could tune into the White House livestream to watch the performance.
