Elton John Announces Rescheduled North American ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ Tour Dates for 2022

Like so many other plans, Elton John had to postpone a number of his highly anticipated Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour dates due to the COVID-19 pandemic — but, in a message shared to social media on Wednesday, the legendary singer/entertainer announced that plans for resuming the tour are back on, starting in Fall 2021.

“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!”

It is with great excitement that we can announce Elton's return to the stage in North America on January 19, 2022.
