"Nashville" has booked a legendary musician as a guest star for its upcoming episode. Elton John would appear as himself in the penultimate episode of the show's fourth season set to air on May 18, so it's announced on Monday, April 4.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee of class 1994 will perform alongside up-and-coming singer and songwriter Gunnar (Sam Palladio) in the episode. It's unclear, though, how John ends up in the town and singing with Gunnar.

The 69-year-old British musician joins a slew of other real-life music stars who have guest starred on the show, such as Christina Aguilera, Brad Paisley, Kellie Pickler, Florida Georgia Line and Sara Evans. Kesha (formerly Ke$ha), Kelsea Ballerini and Thomas Rhett are also set to appear as themselves this season.

Editors' Pick

"Nashville" airs Wednesdays at 10 P.M. on ABC.
