The Rocket Man is giving up travelling.
On his penultimate tour of his career, Elton John completed what he claims was the last performance Saturday night.
According to his website, the renowned, award-winning musician performed on stage for perhaps the last time as a travelling musician in Stockholm, Sweden.
The British music superstar said, “What a journey this tour has been and now that we find ourselves at the end of it,” in the caption of a video he shared to his official Instagram account on Saturday. The last night is tonight.
An excerpt from the musician’s 2018 interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, during which he announced his decision to stop touring, is included in the video. In the video, John states, “I will no longer be performing and seeing the globe.
After more than 50 years of touring, this is his final tour, according to media reports.
According to John’s Instagram video, the tour included more than 300 performances, and more than 6 million people from all around the globe attended. On his farewell tour, the 76-year-old artist made Glastonbury Festival his last trip in the UK.
In an interview with Cooper in 2018, John said that his choice to prioritise his family led to his retirement from the touring life. With her husband David Furnish, the musician has two boys.
He said to Cooper at the time, “We had children and had altered our life, and in 2015, we sat down with their school calendar and we thought I’m going to miss too much of this.
Even though he had finished touring, he continued to concentrate on new songs, he stated at the time.
