This time around, John performs Sept. 13 at the Chase Center, the new home for the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco.
Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. May 17, www.ticketmaster.com.

“Performing live fuels me and I’m ecstatic and humbled to continue to play to audiences across the globe,” John said in a news release. “I plan to bring the passion and creativity that has entertained my fans for decades to my final tour. After the tour finishes, I’m very much looking forward to closing off that chapter of my life by saying farewell to life on the road. I need to dedicate more time to raising my children.”
John is, of course, one of the most successful artists of all time. He’s scored 38 gold records and 31 platinum and multi-platinum albums as well as over 50 Top 40 hits, and sold over 300 million records.
“It is truly an honor to be associated with Elton John, one of music and pop culture’s most legendary, innovative and unrivaled performers,” said Jay Marciano, Chairman and CEO, AEG Presents, promoters of the global Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour. “In a manner and style that could only be conceived by such a renowned artist, Elton’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road concerts will be the ultimate and final opportunity for his millions of fans around the world to experience this generation’s most incomparable and iconic entertainer.”
