DVR Alert: Sir Elton John Guest Stars on ABC's NASHVILLE Tonight

ABC welcomes Sir Elton John, guest starring as himself in tonight's (May 18th) episode of NASHVILLE, airing 10:00-11:00 p.m.

In the episode titled "It's Sure Gonna Hurt", after nearly two decades, Rayna and Deacon face the facts of their storied and often tempestuous relationship. Scarlett makes a startling self-discovery in between tour dates while Gunnar performs with one of his idols, rock-music legend Sir Elton John.

Luke stops by "The View" to trumpet a worthy cause-before a family emergency pulls his focus. Elsewhere, Juliette struggles to make a connection, and Layla launches her album at The Bluebird. Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Raven Symoné, and Paula Faris guest star as themselves.

Among Elton John's other Broadway credits are Billy Elliot: The Musical, The Lion King, Aida (for which he earned a Tony Award in 2009), and Lestat.
