"I'm delighted to be here, this is a culturally electric city, full of life, full of creativity, and I'm very honored to be here," the singer-composer told reporters at a press conference on Saturday.

Dressed in a bright red robe with a black jacket, the British star looked visibly tired, having just arrived in Shanghai earlier in the day.

He said he visited Shanghai in 1988 and 1984, but had never performed in China.

"It's always been my ambition to come to China to play music," said John whose musical career started in the 1960s.

He will perform in two concerts on Sunday and next Tuesday at the 12,000 seat Shanghai Stage, the city's prestigious venue.

He was presented with a yellow imperial robe, similar looking to ones that used to be worn by Chinese emperors, at the press conference.
