Speaking to Watford Football Club Sir Elton said: "The last time I played at Vicarage Road, in 1974, my career was in the process of taking off - as was my relationship with the club.
"I was a vice-president at the time and two years later I became chairman, and the rest is history.
"In recent times, I've played quite a few football grounds around the country, but, understandably Vicarage Road holds a special place in my heart.
"It will be a special night for a really special club."
