Javier Bragado/Redferns
It's going to be a bit longer before Elton John says goodbye, yellow brick road.
The legendary musician has announced rescheduled dates for his farewell tour, which kicked off in September 2018 and was halted in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After resuming Sept. 1, 2021 in Berlin, the tour will kick off its next North American leg in New Orleans on Jan. 19, 2022. Other stops will include Houston, Chicago, Toronto, New York, Miami, and more.
“I’ve been enjoying my time at home with the family while the world navigates its way through the COVID pandemic," John said in a video posted to social media. "But, I really miss being on the road and performing for my beloved fans in my Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour. While the scientists are making great progress, we are making big plans for a return to touring that will allow us to ensure the health and safety of everyone."
"Don’t worry about me. I’m using my downtime to keep myself fighting fit and healthier than ever," he added. "I’m raring to go! As always, thank you so much for your loyal support. I look forward to seeing all you wonderful Elton John fans soon. In the meantime, please stay safe and be well."
The tour will mark John's retirement after a career spanning almost 60 years. You can see the list of North American tour dates below, and check out the full list of dates (and purchase tickets) on John's website.
