Elton John Announces 'Grand Finale' Of His North American Farewell Tour

The end of the Yellow Brick Road is in sight for Elton John.

The Rocket Man has added eleven new shows to his summer/fall tour itinerary, beginning July 24 in at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and wrapping up November 20 in at Dodgers Stadium in California — what will be Elton's 2,000th U.S. concert.

"This year will see my grand finale in North America, playing stadiums all around the country, with the most spectacular production I’ve ever had," he said. "Thank you for sharing this journey with me. I cherish these memories we’re making together. It has been nothing short of incredible and I look forward to seeing you very soon one last time, on my Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour.”

Sir Elton's U.S. arena tour resumes tomorrow (March 30) in St. Louis, Missouri, and runs for about four weeks. He'll then have a month respite before picking up where he left off in Europe from May 21 - July 4.

On July 15, Elton will be back in the U.S. and Canada rocking baseball and football stadiums with 31 total shows through November.
