Elton John plays Robert Kraft’s July Fourth bash

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his wife Dr. Dana Blumberg threw a starry Fourth of July party in the Hamptons where “Philadelphia Freedom” singer Elton John performed.
Sources said that John played an hour set of his greatest hits and dedicated his 1974 smash “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” to the couple.
We hear that Sir Elton flew in from London just for the private show — and had a special red piano shipped from the West Coast. He performed in an eye-catching canary yellow suit.
(John also played the couple’s wedding in 2022, we’d exclusively reported at the time.)
The patriotic party also featured a jaw-dropping drone show creating images in the sky of a Patriots logo, an American flag, Kraft’s dog, Heisman, an image of John, the Statue of Liberty and a football, we hear.
Said a source of the bash, “This was all about building bridges and bringing people together.”
Kraft and other attendees wore blue square pins — the symbol created by Kraft’s Foundation to Combat Antisemitism as part of a $25 million awareness-building campaign as a “symbol of standing up to Jewish hate and all hate.”
Guests were welcomed by a 16-foot high American flag made from over a million crystals.
The pins have been worn by stars including Tom Brady, Mike Tyson, Jon Bon Jovi and Dave Matthews.
Guests at the party included Howard and Beth Stern, Jon Bon Jovi, Kenny Chesney, Mike Tyson and his wife Kiki, Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg, Rob Gronkowski and Camille Kostek, Van Jones, Michael Rubin and Camille Fishel and JPMorgan executive Mary Erdoes and John’s husband, David Furnish, among others.
People magazine reported that Jerry Seinfeld and Sylvester Stallone also attended the bash.
In 2023, Dave Matthews — who played the old Foxboro Stadium the year the Patriots won their first of six Super Bowls — played Kraft’s Fourth of July party, we previously reported. Grandmaster Flash DJ’d the previous bash.
Fanatics founder Rubin, who attended Kraft’s party as a guest, took a year off from throwing his own over-the-top Hamptons white party, we previously reported, where guests routinely included Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian, Drake, Travis Scott and many more.
