    And the 38-year-old Mercedes star was pictured taking a selfie with David Furnish on the edge of the stage as Elton delivered what’s being billed as the finest headline set in Glastonbury history in the final show of his last ever UK tour.
    Guests including actors Taron Egerton, Andrew Garfield and Paul McCartney descended on the Pyramid Stage’s backstage area for the ultimate festival finale — as Britain’s finest songwriter performed his last concert.
    The Rocket Man hit the stage in a gold suit and opened with Pinball Wizard in what must have been one of the most-anticipated shows in the festival’s history.
    He followed this with a stirring rock ’n’ roll rendition of The Bitch Is Back and fans’ favourite Bennie and the Jets.

    Partner David Furnish as well as pals David Walliams and Spice Girls were among celebrity guests enjoying the performance from the side of the stage — and now photos have emerged of Hamilton enjoying the performance too.
    He was firstly seen taking a selfie with Furnish before he burst into laughter as the latter showed him the result of their snap.
    Then Hamilton, dressed in a grey jacket, waved to those in the crowd that had spotted him as he pulled on his black shades.
    Hamilton had already enjoyed a break from the chaos of Formula One last week by partying with Kim Kardashian and Pharrell at a star-studded Louis Vuitton show.

    He jetted to France for Paris Fashion Week with England stars Jude Bellingham, Marcus Rashford and Trent Alexander-Arnold also spotted at the A-List event.
    It comes after he had earlier posted a shot of his incredible abs in a message to suggest he was gunning for Max Verstappen ahead of next week’s Austrian Grand Prix.
    Hamilton captioned the snap: “Sometimes I fall but I always come back.”
    Although current world champion Verstappen claimed Red Bull’s 100th win in Formula One at the Canadian Grand Prix, progress was made by Mercedes and Hamilton.
    Hamilton finished in third, earning a second successive podium finish.
    Those recent results leave him in fourth spot in the leaderboard, behind Fernando Alonso, Sergio Perez and Verstappen.
    But, with 13 races to go there’s still plenty of time for Hamilton to claw back Verstappen’s 93 point lead.

    But the former Arsenal forward, who scored 31 goals in 82 games for the Gunners, has made an unusual job choice as he enters the twilight of his footballing career.
    The former German international is organising a four-day music festival called Glucksgefuhle which translates to Happy Feelings.
    The festival will take place on the legendary F1 track Hockenheim.
    Over 100,000 fans are expected to attend between September 14 and 17.

    Acts will include top DJs Steve Aoki and Paul van Dyk, as well as ATB – who had a UK No.1 with “9 PM (Till I Come).”
    If the German, Polish and Arsenal links didn’t give it away yet, the answer to the mystery player turned festival organiser is of course… Lukas Podolski.
    The Polish-born German forward helped Arsenal end their nine year trophy drought as part of the squad that won the 2014 FA Cup.
    That summer, he was also part of the Germany squad that won the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

    He made 130 appearances for the German national team before retiring in 2017.
    Now 38, he plays in his native Poland for Gornik Zabrze.
    Despite his advancing age he returned six goals and ten assists in 29 appearances this season.
    On organising the massive festival alongside his playing career, Podolski told German outlet Bild: “The last few years have taken a great toll on everyone, and times are still tough.
    “It’s for this reason we want to offer people a bit of time out with this festival.
    “We want to look at lots of happy faces at the Hockenheim circuit.  People should have the chance to switch off for a couple of days.”

    A host of German music stars are due to perform, and funfairs, football tournaments and yoga classes are also planned to take place. More
