After five years and 330 Farewell Yellow Brick Road concerts, Elton John wrapped up his career as a touring artist Saturday night. Watch him perform “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” and tell the crowd why it's been 'my lifeblood to play for you guys'
wrapped up his career as a touring artist Saturday night with an emotional show at the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm, Sweden. Fan-shot video of “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” captured the last song of the evening.
“I’ve had the most wonderful career, beyond belief,” he told the crowd before launching into the song. “Fifty years of pure joy playing music. How lucky am I? But I wouldn’t be sitting here and talking to you if it wasn’t for you. You bought the singles, the CDs, the albums, the cassettes…More importantly, you bought the tickets to the shows. You know how much I love to play live. It’s been my lifeblood to play for you guys. You’ve been absolutely magnificent.
“That doesn’t mean I won’t still be creative,” he said. “But I won’t travel anymore … I don’t want to go out with a whimper. I want to go out with a bang … It’ll be the most produced, fantastic show I’ve ever done.”The 24-song set was packed with hits like “Tiny Dancer,” “Candle In The Wind,” and “Crocodile Rock,” though he did squeeze in some deep cuts, including “Indian Sunset,” “Burn Down The Mission,” and “All The Girls Love Alice.
At the Stockholm show, he told the crowd exactly why he decided to get off the road. “I want to appreciate my family, my sons, my husband, everything,” he said. “I’ve earned, it. And I don’t regret it tonight. I want to thank the band, the crew, everybody. I will miss you guys so much, but I’ll see you much sooner than you think. I love you guys!”
