“Elton’s continuing love affair with Australia knows no bounds, proven by this farewell tour, and the breadth and depth of the itinerary, showing his commitment to his many Australian fans”, said promoter Michael Chugg. “On his very last tour, he wanted to return to some of his favourite cities, while also playing for fans in a couple of never-before-visited locations.”
It’s already being lauded as one of the star’s most “energetic, dazzlingly-original and joyful celebrations”, and a “reflective and stunning tribute to a great artist’s career”.
Not only will fans get to hear the hits live, the tour promises a “rare glimpse” into John’s life and the personal meaning behind some of his greatest hits through never-before-seen images and videos which will play throughout the show.
