Tour Notes

Elton John is on his “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour. This artist has sold more than 300 million records in his 50-year career and has been showered with accolades — Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards, an Academy and Tony Award, and even a British knighthood since 1998. The tour, which launched Sept. 8, 2018, is expected to resume as Covid-19 restrictions ease once the pandemic is under control.
