Sarah Brightman had not even taken the stage last Saturday when government officials in Yucatan announced that former Beatle Paul McCartney would perform at Chichen Itza in 2011, preceded by Elton John in spring of 2010.

Yucatan Governor Ivonne Ortega Pacheco announced the line up the day before soprano Sarah Brightman took the stage at Chichen Itza to perform many of her international favorites. The governor said that Elton John would be pounding his piano in front of the Pyramid of Kukulcan in late March or early April, and that McCartney would be there sometime in 2011 as part of his “farewell tour.”
