Maltapost marks Elton John concert

The Philatelic Bureau will be marking next month's Elton John concert with the issue of a miniature sheet featuring four images of the international star at various stages of his career, Maltapost said

Maltapost senior manager marketing and business development, Michael Stewart said:

"It's not every day that you get a superstar like Elton John to give a concert in Malta.

"We feel this event deserves some form of recognition."

Maltapost said the design of the miniature sheet has been approved by Sir Elton himself, who is understood to have been delighted with Maltapost's plans.

The miniature sheet issue is being widely publicised both in Malta and abroad, particularly among the Elton John fan clubs.

The miniature sheet will go on sale at all 30 Maltapost branches and from the Maltapost Mobile Unit on July 1. Philatelists and Elton John fans will also be able to purchase the miniature sheet from mobile units at the Floriana Granaries on the evening of the concert.

The miniature sheet will be available as a first day cover, in mint or cancelled format, in a presentation pack and as a souvenir folder.
