Elton John to play final UK date on his farewell tour at Glastonbury Festival
Elton John will headline Sunday’s proceedings at next year’s Glastonbury Festival in what will be the very final UK date on his current farewell tour.That long-running grand finale – aka the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour – includes a plethora of UK dates next year as part of a wider European run of shows that finishes in Stockholm on 8 Jul.But his performance on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury on 25 Jun will be the very final – absolutely last ever – one that occurs within the borders of this United Kingdom Of Great Britain And Northern Ireland.Well, his very final performance as part of a tour. Manager David Furnish recently confirmed that John plans to continue performing at ad hoc shows or short residences once the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour is finally over.“It’s really important to make a distinction between Elton retiring from touring but Elton not playing his very last public performance for the very last time”, Furnish told Billboard as the final US date on the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour took place.“Will Elton return as a live performer? I hope so”, he went on.
