It's been '52 years of pure joy' for Elton John!
He continued,"For everything you’ve done for LGBTQ. Everything you’ve done for fashion and eyewear. Everything you’ve done for sexiness, and love and dressing gowns. Everything you’ve done for music, everything Bernie has done for lyrics, everything your band has done over the thousands of shows you’ve done. We love you so much, happy retirement, and we’re going to miss you so much."
Before singing"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," his final song on Saturday, John took a moment to reflect on his career.the audience."Fifty-two years of pure joy playing music. How lucky am I to play music? But you know, I wouldn’t be sitting here and talking to you if it wasn’t for you. You bought the singles, the CDs, the albums, the cassettes, but more importantly, you bought the tickets to the shows. You know how much I love to play live.
John continued,"I will never be touring again, but I may do something in the future — a one-off thing — but that’s miles away. I want to appreciate my family, my sons, my husband, everything. I’ve earned it. And I don’t regret it tonight. I want to thank the band, the crew, everybody. I will miss you guys so much, but I’ll see you much sooner than you think. I love you guys!"
The Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour kicked off nearly five years ago on Sept. 10, 2018 in North America and has subsequently seen Elton play to over 6.25 million fans across the U.K., Europe, North America and Australasia.
