You probably already know that Elton John is ending the concert portion of his long and illustrious career, unless you’ve been hiding under a very thick rock.

The Rocket Man’s farewell tour “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” began in 2018, but its final, tearful performance was only this past Saturday.

According to his official website, John’s last concert occurred on July 8 at the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm, Sweden. However, the iconic musician has since hinted that we may see him again in the future.

Instead, John’s concert on Saturday was the final performance of a traveling career that spanned half a century.

There were more than 300 performances on this tour. John’s website claims that over 6 million people from all over the world tuned in to watch the shows.

In an interview with Anderson Cooper of CNN from 2018, John explained that wanting to spend more time with

his family—wife David Furnish and their two sons—was a major factor in his decision to retire from touring.

Having children ‘had changed our lives,’ and by 2015, ‘we sat down with their school schedule and said I’m going to miss too much of this,’ the Your Song star explained to Cooper.

The weekend of John’s farewell tour date was an emotional one, as it marked the end of a chapter in one of the most successful musical careers in history.

A clip from Elton’s chat with Cooper was featured in an Instagram video he shared on Saturday, just before his gig in Stockholm. In the photo’s caption, John penned:

What a trip it’s been, and here we are at the conclusion of it. This is the last night.
