Sir Elton John recently opened up about his future plans for performing live after announcing his retirement from touring last year. Fans were left wondering if they would ever have the chance to see the legendary singer live again after his final show in Sweden, marking the end of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
In a candid excerpt from his new book, Farewell Yellow Brick Road: Memories Of My Life on Tour, released on September 24, Sir Elton shared that he still intends to perform live, but not through touring. He stated, "I've been clear with my fans that while the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour is the culmination of my touring career, I still plan to perform live. What this will entail, I don't know yet."
The 77-year-old singer concluded his lengthy final tour last year with an emotional performance of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" in Sweden. He expressed his gratitude towards his loyal fans who have supported him throughout his 52-year career, saying, "You have no idea how much that means to me. I've had the most wonderful career, beyond belief. 52 years of pure joy playing music, how lucky am I to play music?"
Although he announced his retirement from touring, Sir Elton hinted at the possibility of a one-off performance in the future. However, he made it clear that it would not be a tour and would be "miles away" from happening.
Last week, the music icon revealed that he has been dealing with a severe eye infection which has left him partially blind in one eye. He shared that he has been slowly recovering at home and is grateful for the support from his family and medical team. Despite this setback, he remains positive about his recovery and has been using this time to rest and recuperate.
While Sir Elton may not be touring anytime soon, he has been keeping busy with the release of his new book and promoting his upcoming documentary, Elton John: Never Too Late!, set to be released on Disney Plus on December 13. This documentary will delve into the details of his illustrious career.
Through all the ups and downs, Sir Elton John remains a beloved and iconic figure in the music industry. His legacy will continue to live on through his music and the impact he has made on fans worldwide.
