Sir Elton John revealed his thoughts on his final tour, Farewell Yellow Brick Road, saying, ‘it’s going to be very emotional and very joyful.’The British musician’s current tour, which began on September 8, 2018, in Allentown, Pennsylvania, would end in 2023.
It is intended to be John’s final tour, with over 300 concerts scheduled around the world. Sir Elton John revealed his thoughts on his final tour, Farewell Yellow Brick Road, saying, ‘it’s going to be very emotional and very joyful.’I’m desperate to get out there and entertain people. Because I enjoy it and want to end the tour with a bang in 2023. And go out like that because I’m not going on tour after that. “It’s critical that I finish what I started,” John told radio host Fleur East.During the lockdown, the singer was hard at work on his new album, ‘The Lockdown Sessions,’ which was released on October 22nd and features songs by Stevie Wonder, Stevie Nicks, and Brandi Carlile, to name a few.
Elton, like many other artists, had missed live shows and expressed his excitement about performing for the final time: “It’s going to be very emotional and very joyful.” I used to love going to live shows; you miss it, you miss going crazy. It’s a way to let off steam, and music is a great healer and brings people together.
“As a result, I’m looking forward to it.”During the interview, Elton stated, “I want them to have happy memories and tell their kids, ‘you know he really cared about us,’ because I do care about my fans and I’ve always given 150 percent if I can.” I simply want them to have a good time. And I’d like them to go back and listen to some things they haven’t heard before from my back catalogue.
“Fleur asked if this was truly his final tour, and he replied, “I can assure you it’s the final tour, I will do some charity shows if asked, but I’m not touring again.” I’ll be 76 years old when I finish, and I need to spend time with my family.”Elton went on to say, “Who knows what I’ll be doing after the tour is over?” Life is full of surprises; I wasn’t expecting to make a record this year, and look what happened, so that’s the wonderful thing about life.”
