This is the end of Elton John’s “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour and his formal retirement from music.
John was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1998 for his musical talent and dedication to social causes, like campaigning against AIDS.
Over the course of his five-plus decades in the music industry, the superstars has sold more than 300 million records worldwide.
So far this year, Elton John is still leading the charts. His single “Cold Heart” with Dua Lipa hit No. 1 in the UK, as does his Christmas collaboration with Ed Sheeran from last year, “Merry Christmas.”
