Farewell Yellow Brick Road is an ongoing farewell tour by British musician Elton John. It began in Allentown, Pennsylvania on 8 September 2018. The tour will consist of more than 300 shows around the world, finishing in 2021.[1]
Background
On 24 January 2018, it was announced that John would be retiring from touring and would soon embark on a three-year tour. The first concert was announced to take place at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania on 8 September 2018 followed by an extensive tour of the United States before moving on to Europe. John cited spending time with his children as the reason for his retirement, saying, "Ten years ago if you asked me if I would stop touring I would have said no. But we had children and that changed our lives. I have had an amazing life and career but my life has changed. My priorities are now my children and my husband and my family."[2][3]
Regarding the Editing Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour on the official press release John stated: "Performing live fuels me and I'm ecstatic and humbled to continue to play to audiences across the globe. I plan to bring the passion and creativity that has entertained my fans for decades to my tour."[4]
Recordings
