Sir Elton John will hold a fundraising concert for democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton in New York next month.

Elton and Hillary: One Night Only at Radio City Music Hall will be the first solo show that the star has played in the city since October 2000.

“I'm not a politician, but I believe in the work that Hillary Clinton does," Sir Elton said in a statement.

Clinton will hope that the concert proves as successful as the star-studded fundraiser she held for her 60th Birthday last year.

Attended by Elvis Costello and Comedian Billy Crystal, the event at New York's Beacon Theatre raised $1.5million for her campaign to become the first female president.

Clinton currently trails fellow democrat Barack Obama in the race to become the Democrat party's choice to face Republican John McCain in the Presidential elections this November.
