Washington, Apr 24 : English singer Sir Elton John got a standing ovation from his fans in Las Vegas as he played the final show in his five-year residency.

John, 62, who has been a regular fixture at the Colosseum at Caesar''s Palace since signing on for a three-year deal in February 2004, was scheduled to play 75 shows over that time period, but a further 166 concert dates were added due to popular demand.

While the Rocket Films production company bosses have given the venture, which will show an extraterrestrial space-craft landing in
18th century Britain, a green signal, Furnish seems thrilled to begin working on the flick aptly titled `Pride and Predator'.

"It felt like a fresh and funny way to blow apart the done-to-death Jane Austen genre by literally dropping this alien into the middle of a costume drama, where he stalks and slashes to horrific effect," Contactmusic quoted Furnish as saying.

The music players, prized at 584 dollars, also features the 61-year-old singer's signature lasered on the back.
