Elton has been dropping hints about the upcoming tour on social media, expressing his excitement for this final round of performing.
Announcing the dates of his final tour on social media, the star said: “I’m going to go out in the biggest possible way, performing at my very best, with the most spectacular production I’ve ever had, playing in places that have meant so much to me throughout my career.
“This has been an incredible tour so far, full of the most amazing highs, and I look forward to making more wonderful memories with you at these final shows.”
The announcement comes after concerts planned at Ashton Gate for this year had to be cancelled due to Covid.
“We are so excited to be able to welcome Elton John back to Ashton Gate and to be part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road – The Final Tour,” said Ashton Gate’s head of venue and events, Jenny Hutchinson.
“After the difficult last 15 months of Covid, it is critical that we get the events industry back on track. We know that the Summer Series of concerts in 2019 at Ashton Gate provided a huge economic stimulus to the city – with hotels, hospitality and retailers all reporting a spike during the Summer Series.”
Jenny added: “It is a real honour and privilege to be selected alongside the other incredible venues – like Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the San Siro in Milan and Liverpool’s Anfield. It promises to be an amazing evening with one of the all-time greats.”
