Legendary British singer Elton John has announced his retirement from touring.
At 77, Elton John has unequivocally stated in an interview that he will never embark on a tour again. His final performance was a grand spectacle in Stockholm, Sweden, in July 2023.

“The last show in Stockholm on the farewell tour after Glastonbury, I got in the car and went, ‘Yes! yes!’ We went out on the biggest high, just the way I wanted to, and there’s no going back [after] that,” he said.

The singer’s farewell tour, which ended in 2023, amassed $939 million (£749 million) over 328 shows making it the highest-grossing music tour
before Taylor Swift broke the record with $1 billion in revenue.
