Croc Rockin' at the White House? Check. Elton John checked a major venue off the bucket list. The rocker said he was was blown away by the glamorous setting in front of the White House on Friday night, with President Joe Biden and wife Jill Biden in attendance for a show called "A Night When Hope and History Rhyme." "I don't know what to say, what a dump," John, 75, joked as he took the stage with a lit-up White House in the background, before getting serious. "I've played in some beautiful places before, but this is probably the icing on the cake." A giant open-air tent and stage were set up on the White House lawn for the show. The 2,000-person guest list included teachers, nurses, frontline workers and LGBTQ advocates, plus civil rights advocate Ruby Bridges and former first lady Laura Bush. At the end of the show, Biden surprised John with the National Humanities Medal for his songbook and his long legacy of advocacy. 👉 Swipe to see more pictures + visit our link in bio to read more. 📸 Susan Walsh, @apnews; Alex Wong, @gettyimages
