Elton John performs at the Wells Fargo Center on March 25th Philadelphia.

The five-time Grammy winner announced Monday he'll return with his "Million Dollar Piano" show to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas starting in September.

Tickets for the first 16 shows go on sale April 25.

John completed his first run at Caesars Palace in April 2009. "The Red Piano" was originally slated to run for three years, but was extended to a five-year run because of audience demand.

John was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999.
