Sir Elton John has released a video of him performing new song Wonderful Crazy Night live in Las Vegas.

In it, John plays the jaunty title track of his upcoming album with his touring band. John has a residence in Vegas with his show The Million Dollar Piano, which runs at the Colosseum inside Caesars Palace.

The bluesy piano-driven pop number was co-written with the singer's long-term collaborator Bernie Taupin, who he has worked with for almost 50 years. The album version also features guitarist Davey Johnstone, who’s played with Elton since 1971.

Wonderful Crazy Night is the singer’s thirty-third album, set to be released on February 5 2015. It was worked on by legendary producer and guitarist T Bone Burnett. Watch the single for the album's eponymous single below.

Earlier in the year, Elton John made headlines when he shaved off Evgeny Lebedev’s beard for Comic Relief. In a surprise twist, John took off Mr Lebedev’s eyebrows too. Mr Lebedev, the owner of the Evening Standard, said: “That wasn’t in the script. Who said Elton’s wild days were behind him?”
