“Farewell Yellow Brick Road” Farewell Tour Announced

 

Kicking off in the U.S. on September 8, 2018, the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour will consist of more than 300 shows across five continents, hitting North America, Europe and the Middle East, Asia, South America and Australasia before reaching its conclusion in 2021. These dates mark Elton’s last-ever tour, the end of half a century on the road for one of pop culture’s most enduring performers. The new stage production will take his fans on a musical and highly visual journey spanning a 50-year career of hits like no one has ever seen before. Elton John is proud to be the world's first artist to partner with PEEX, unlocking superior sound quality from any seat in the house with their new wearable technology. (http://peex.live/)

Sir Elton is coming to Oakland, California and I live near enough to there that I might try to go. Glad we finally have an Elton topic, it's time, and he rocks!
