Over a staggering 52 years of live performances, Elton has played for tens of millions of fans worldwide, and has broken multiple attendance and box-office records throughout his career, hitting an unrivaled apex that is sure to remain unchallenged for years to come. The past year has also seen Elton return to the recorded music charts with his smash hit “Cold Heart (PNAU REMIX),” which hit #7 on Billboard’s Hot 100, and  #1 on its Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, as well as charting at #1 on the U.K. Elton John originally announced his final tour before retiring from live music in 2018, after half a century of touring. In September, John announced makeup dates for the tour, which was postponed due to the pandemic.

Elton John has announced the final North American leg of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, which takes place in 2022. Dates in 2019, John took a moment to shout out former Times pop music critic Robert Hilburn, whose effusive review of John’s 1970 residency at the Troubadour — another gig memorably dramatized in “Rocketman” — brought the music industry’s attention to a then-obscure act. With his Dodger Stadium swan song behind him, John is gearing up for the epilogue of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour — which will resume abroad next year and conclude in Stockholm in July. Hordes of fans across generations arrived early to the ballpark to beat traffic, which was predictably nightmarish ahead of Thursday and Saturday’s shows.

Tickets for John’s 2022 Dodger Stadium concerts — which will follow stadium shows in Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville and Houston, among other cities — are set to go on sale June 30. Before saying his final goodbyes, John still had a few more tricks up his sparkly sleeves. Near the end of the show, he welcomed to the stage his longtime songwriting partner, Bernie Taupin, who embraced his friend and gave a warm shout-out to John’s band.

Following his recently announced dates in Europe, beginning September 1, 2021 in Berlin (tour dates here), the tour will kick off again in North America on January 19, 2022, in New Orleans, making stops in major markets, including Houston, Chicago, Toronto, New York, Miami and more.

John, who says he wants to spend more time with his children, launched the tour in 2018 and had already played dozens of cities around the world — including L.A., where he stopped for multiple concerts at Staples Center and the Forum — when COVID forced him to pause in March 2020.
