Elton John Adds Another Madison Square Garden Show

Sir Elton John has announced a fourth Madison Square Garden show as part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour.

The iconic singer will play The Garden November 9, 2018.

This is in addition to previously announced shows October 18 and 19, and November 8. 

John has also announced a performance March 8, 2019, at Barclays Center. 

American Express pre-sale is on now through Thursday, February 1, at 10 p.m. Ticketmaster verified fan pre-sale is Thursday, February 1, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Public on-sale for all five New York-area shows is February 2 at 10 a.m.

John announced last week that his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour will include about 300 shows, spanning the world, over the next three years. 

Once the tour is completed, the singer says he will spend some much-needed time at home with his husband and two children.

While John says he won't stop being creative and making new music, he says he's done with the rigorous travel schedule. 

"I once thought I would be like Ray Charles and B.B. King and tour forever," John said. "But when I stop, [my children] are going to be 10 and 8, which is a very important age...I don't want to miss them."

The Grammy-award winner has sold over 300 million albums worldwide in his career. He underscored the fact that the only real break he's taken from touring or recording was one year he took to get sober.

Of retirement he said, "It doesn't mean I'm still not going to be creative. I'm just not going to travel anymore."

As for the fans attending the shows, John says it's going to be unlike anything they've ever seen. 

"It's going to be the most produced, fantastic show i've ever done," he said. "It'll be a wonderful way to thank people...the other things [like Grammys] are just superfluous little trinkets." 

"Fans have always been showing up to my concerts," he continued. "[This tour] is a way of saying thank you. I don't want to go out with a whimper. I want to go out with a bang."
