On October 25th 1975, Elton John surprised the already delirious sell-out crowd at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium by bringing out tennis superstar Billie Jean King to join the background singers for ‘The Bitch Is Back’. Dressed in the now-iconic LA Dodgers uniform (glammed up by designer Bob Mackie), this thrilling concert was a career-defining moment and has been astonishingly recreated for a critical scene in the new Elton John movie Rocketman.
