Elton John's Private Jet Was Forced To Make An Emergency Landing From 10,000 Feet

Sir Elton John's private plane was forced to make an emergency landing at 10,000 feet above the ground due to a hydraulics failure. 

An hour into his flight from the UK to New York, the plane's hydraulics failed, compromising the functionality of its landing gear equipment, breaks and flaps.

It took three attempts for the pilot to land on the runway at Farnborough Airport on the Southern Coast of Ireland. 

Witnesses told The Sun, “The plane was being buffeted and couldn’t make it. The aircraft’s nose was far too vertical. The plane was descending and was halfway along the runway when it gave up trying to hit the tarmac. It soared back in the air.”

The music legend is making his way around the globe for the Farewell Yellow Brick Road: The Final Tour.
