Sir Elton John has announced a new book detailing his five-year farewell tour, entitled Farewell Yellow Brick Road: Memories of My Life on Tour.Earlier today (January 25), Elton John took to his Instagram account to announce the release. “I am incredibly excited to announce my new book, Farewell Yellow Brick Road: Memories of My Life On Tour, which goes behind the scenes on my final tour, from Allentown, PA, to Stockholm, Sweden and everywhere in between,” its caption read. “It’s been a beautiful journey creating this book and remembering the people and places that shaped an incredible chapter in my life.”A post shared by Elton John (@eltonjohn)Set to be published by Disney Publishing imprint Hyperion Avenue, the photo memoir will also feature behind-the-scenes snaps of the stage’s design, his Gucci-designed wardrobe, celebrity attendees, posters, sketches and more, aside from a foreword by the tour’s manager and creative designer, Rocket Entertainment CEO David Furnish.Slated for release on September 24, fans and members of the Rocket Club fanclub can pre-order the book via Elton John’s official webstore to receive a copy two weeks before it hits bookstore shelves.Elton John’s ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ tour was originally scheduled to conclude in 2021, but the COVID-19 pandemic, alongside a hip injury which forced him to postpone remaining his Eurpoe and UK dates in September 2021, led to the tour’s extension into 2023.

At the time John announced the postponement, he revealed that his injury was a result of a fall he had experienced during the summer that year.
