Elton John will kickstart his final North American
tour, beginning right here in New Orleans on January 19, 2022. The Farewell
Yellow Brick Road Tour marks Elton John's retirement from touring, and this
final on-the-road world tour will start off overseas in Berlin, Germany, on September
1, 2021, before heading to this side of the pond in 2022. This tour, which has
been hailed by Rolling Stone as "the most bombastic, highly technical
display John has ever attempted," will visit various cities and countries
throughout the world for one final, spectacular show. John's critically
acclaimed Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour will allow fans to take part
in a magical journey detailing his amazing 50-year career as he performs his
most famous songs accompanied by never-before-seen videos and photos.
John expressed missing touring and performing as the
world continues to navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic. While John spent time
at home, he was working towards creating a tour that will consider the safety
and health of all in attendance. John's Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour
originally started in September 2018, receiving rave reviews and "Tour of the
Year" awards from Pollstar and iHeartRadio and "Top Rock Tour" in 2019 from the
Billboard Music Awards.
