Elton John thanks his fans for ’52 years of pure joy’ as he concludes his touring career

The “Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour” has come to an end to the disappointment of many of the The Rocket Man’s fans.

Sir Elton John’s stunning performance on June 8th at the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2023, was the singer’s last ever as a touring artist, as per his website. The tour was supposed to end in 2021 but it was delayed due to the pandemics.

However, although this might seem like the end of an incredibly rich and influential music career, Sir Elton John hinted that he could feature again in some capacity in the future.

Over the course of the years and during his career which has spanned over fifty years, Sir Elton gave the world some brilliant music and unforgettable shows. According to his website, his last tour’s shows were watched by more than 6 million people around the world.

What prompted the decision to retire from touring was John’s wish to spend more time with his husband David Furnish and the couple’s two sons, Elijah and Zachary.
