After an incredible 52-year career, Elton John has officially retired from touring. The music legend, now 76, performed his final concert at Stockholm’s Tele2 Arena as part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour.
As he concluded his show with heartfelt renditions of “Your Song” and “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” Elton expressed his gratitude to the audience for their unwavering support over the years.
Elton acknowledged the role his fans played in his success, saying, “If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be sitting here talking to you. You bought the singles, albums, CDs and cassettes, but more importantly, you bought the concert tickets, and you know how much I enjoy performing live.”
During the final concert, Elton received a touching message from Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, who was performing in Sweden at the same time.
