AUSTIN — Grammy Award- and Academy Award-winning singer/songwriter Elton John will headline the 2011 Andy Roddick Foundation’s 6th annual Charity Gala on Sept. 21 at ACL Live at the Moody Theater.
The theater is located at 310 W. Willie Nelson Blvd.
“I am thrilled to have Sir Elton John perform at the gala again. It is a privilege to have him join our efforts,” professional tennis player and Texas native Roddick said. “He is a musical legend and dedicated philanthropist. I am excited for the evening’s potential to raise awareness and funds for the children’s organizations the foundation support.”
In his four-decade career, John has sold more than 250 million records and held seven consecutive No. 1 U.S. albums. His single “Candle in the Wind” has sold more than 33 million copies worldwide and is the best-selling single in Billboard history.
The versatile artist has won six Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award and a Tony Award.
John was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, was named Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1996 and received a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II in 1998.
This will be the fourth time John has performed at the gala. He also performed at Roddick’s wedding to wife Brooklyn Decker.
The evening also will include a cocktail reception, dinner, live auction and an after party.
Proceeds from the gala will benefit the Andy Roddick Foundation.
