How to get last-minute Elton John tickets as Farewell UK tour continues
He’s still standing! Elton John’s mammoth farewell tour is underway and you’ve got one last chance to get tickets to the remaining UK shows. Here’s everything you need to know.
In a swan song lasting longer than the end of Return of the King, Elton John’s farewell tour is still underway.
Beginning in 2018, the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour has been a massive undertaking, with 300 shows booked across three continents and including 23 of the star’s best tracks. The Rocket Man has had to postpone the tour several times now due to injury and the COVID pandemic, but now (finally) he’s touring the UK, and breaking our hearts with his goodbye.
When Sir Elton announced his final tour, he said: "It's time to come off the road so I can fully embrace the next chapter of my life." Then, on the topic of his UK dates he added: "The Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour will take us to many places that have meant a lot to me over the last 50 years, but these UK shows will be incredibly special. The UK is home, and where my heart will always be."
The UK stint started on Thursday 23rd March and from Sunday (2nd April), Sir Elton began his 10-show stretch at the O2 Arena in London. From there, he’ll go on to Manchester, Birmingham and Scotland before wrapping up with the ultimate performance at Glastonbury Festival in June.
Earning over $800 million (£663m) in ticket sales, Farewell Yellow Brick Road has become the highest grossing concert tour of all time, which isn’t that surprising seeing as it’s lasted five years – but it's still a testament to the singer’s seven-decade long career.
