Elton John's Epic Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour: Florida Dates Announced
TAMPA, Fla. (CW44 News At 10) - It's a bittersweet day as Elton John announces his farewell tour which will have four stops in Florida, including one at the Amalie Arena in Tampa.
Elton John fans in Tampa Bay were let down for two consecutive years. The first was in 2018 when his farewell tour was postponed by a full year due to a last minute illness. A year came and went and in May 2019, he was forced to postpone yet again due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Hopefully, the third time's a charm.
It is with great excitement that Elton John announces his return to the stage in North America with newly rescheduled dates for his award-winning, global Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour. Following his recently announced dates in Europe, beginning September 1, 2021 in Berlin, the tour will kick off again in North America on January 19, 2022, in New Orleans, making stops in major markets, including Houston, Chicago, Toronto, New York, Miami and more. The Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour will conclude with a series of select stadium performances taking place worldwide.
Taking to social media, Elton John said, "I've been enjoying my time at home with the family while the world navigates its way through the COVID pandemic. 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 will be starting my tour again in Europe and the UK in the Fall of 2021. And I will be back in North America starting in January 2022. This means my New Zealand dates will be postponed until 2023. Don't worry about me. I'm using my downtime to keep myself fighting fit and healthier than ever. 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!"
Winning the 2020 iHeartRadio Music Award for "Tour Of The Year," 2020 Pollstar "Major Tour of the Year" and the 2019 Billboard Music Award for the "Top Rock Tour," the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour kicked off to a sold-out crowd on September 8, 2018 in Allentown, PA and has since received rave reviews around the world. The critically acclaimed show takes the audience on a magical journey through his incredible 50-year career with never-before-seen-photos and videos, all set to the tune of some of Elton's most beloved songs from his legendary catalog including, "Bennie and the Jets," "Rocket Man," "Tiny Dancer," and "Philadelphia Freedom."
Ticketholders for all postponed performances will receive new event information shortly and all original tickets will be honored at the rescheduled performances.
