Sir Elton John will be performing a one-off Bristol show as part of an extensive 'Farewell' tour next year, set to arrive at Ashton Gate Stadium on 22 June 2022.

 

Responsible for a long line of smash hit singles and albums, the esteemed vocalist, pianist and composer is among the UK's most successful musicians of all time, selling over 300 million records worldwide across a musical career spanning more than half a century.

Having kicked off in 2018, Elton John's 'Farewell Yellow Brick Road' tour represents the artist's biggest to date, set to include more than 300 shows worldwide over the course of three years.

 

Organised as an unmissable swansong to one of the most decorated solo careers of all time, the tour's name references the hit 1973 album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, taking John back to some of the world's most iconic stages.

 

Unveiling the new dates on his social media channels this week after several shows were postponed or cancelled due to the global coronavirus crisis, the star said:

 

"The shows that I announce today will be my final tour dates ever in North America and Europe. I'm going to go out in the biggest possible way, performing at my very best with the most spectacular production I've ever had."

 

As well as his Ashton Gate Stadium show, Elton John will be performing at Anfield in Liverpool, Milan's San Siro and The O2 in London, as well as an array of huge venues across the US.
