Elton John has officially picked up where he left off on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour, which initially began in September of 2018.

After a nearly two-year hiatus, the Rocket Man returned to the stage in New Orleans to play a myriad of classic hits for a roaring crowd of fans.

Due to both the pandemic and hip surgery, John had to postpone his last hoorah around the world both in 2020 and again this past fall, respectively.

Now, back on the road, John is set to continue to tour North America until April before heading to the U.K. and Europe for a handful of final shows.
