Today, Elton John announced that he would stop touring too. From ABC...
After almost a half of century of performing for packed audiences, Sir Elton John has announced his plans to retire from global touring.
The icon held a press conference today, which was streamed to his official website and YouTube.
"I’m not gonna be touring anymore," he said, aside from his last tour 'Farewell Yellow Brick Road' that will kick off later this year in September. To be fair, he added that this global farewell tour will last a few years and will be 300 shows.
He remains one of the only rock icons I've never seen live. I guess I have to go see him when he comes to town.
