Elton John Announces ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ Tour Makeup Dates

Elton John will resume his Farewell Yellow Brick Road in January 2022 with a long run of arena dates that kicks off in New Orleans at the Smoothie King Center.

“I’ve been enjoying my time at home with the family while the world navigates its way through the COVID pandemic,” he said in a statement. “But, I really miss being on the road and performing for my beloved fans in my Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour. While the scientists are making great progress, we are making big plans for a return to touring that will allow us to ensure the health and safety of everyone.

“I’m using my downtime to keep myself fighting fit and healthier than ever,” he continued. “I’m raring to go! As always, thank you so much for your loyal support. I look forward to seeing all you wonderful Elton John fans soon. In the meantime, please stay safe and be well. Thank you!”

John launched the Farewell Yellow Brick tour in September 2018 in Allentown, Pennsylvania. It was originally slated to run for three years, but the pandemic forced it off the road in March 2020. As of now, the plan is to bring the show to Europe in September 2021. No makeup dates for the postponed New Zealand shows have been announced, but John says they will take place in 2023.

The Farewell Yellow Brick Road is billed as Elton’s final tour. The set focuses on massive hits like “Rocket Man,” “Your Song,” Rocket Man” and “The Bitch is Back,” but he also sprinkles in some lesser-known tunes like “Indian Sunset,” “Believe” and “I Want Love.”
