Sir Elton John began his career in 1969 with Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Now, he’s 70 years old and he’s sold over 300 million records and it’s time for him to say goodbye to his fans.
It’s Family Time For Sir Elton
Sir Elton isn’t retiring because he thinks he’s too old for the game. He’s calling it quits so that he can spend more time with his husband, David Furnish, and their two children.
He’ll be able to relax in style as he’s worth over £175 million ($225 million) despite having admitted spending at a rate of nearly £1.5 million ($2 million) a month during the 1990s!
It Won’t Be A Small Tour
Fans of Sir Elton shouldn’t be disappointed to hear about this. He is, in his own words, “going out with a bang.”
His final tour will begin in the US in September 2018 and finish in April 2019 in the UK or Europe. In between those two points, he will play over 300 gigs to say farewell to as many fans as possible.
So make sure to get your tickets.There won’t be another chance to see one of the men who defined the music industry live again. We salute you, Sir Elton John.
