The Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour started in 2018. It was supposed to end in three years, but the coronavirus pandemic disrupted all plans. Sir Elton John’s final show was held at the Tele2 Arena and the concert ended with the song Goodbye Yellow Brick Road from the 1973 album.
The singer tenderly addressed the fans. “I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you. You bought singles, albums and CDs and most of all you bought concert tickets because you know how much I love to play live. Playing for you guys has been a lifesaver for me and you guys have been amazing, thank you for everything! I’ll never forget you guys,” Elton said.
The musician first performed in Sweden 52 years ago. He stated that he no longer plans to tour, yet he assured fans that he will occasionally perform. Over the years of his concert activity, Elton has played more than 4000 concerts in 80 countries.
On the final tour, the musician presented his hits, which he recorded over the 56 years of his musical career. According to preliminary estimates, the five-year concert marathon earned the artist 887 million dollars, but promoters predict that this number will rise to a billion dollars.
Elton John talked about Michael Jackson. The musician described his colleague as mentally ill.
