His farewell tour is a big one, kicking off September 8, 2018, with  more than 300 shows across five continents, hitting North America, Europe, Asia, South America and Australia, before wrapping up in 2021. Elton’s new stage production will take fans on a musical and highly visual journey spanning a 50-year career of hits like no one has ever seen before.
