According to E News, Elton John announced in a press conference this morning that he will be embarking on a farewell tour!

The singer clarified that he is not retiring from music altogether, and will still be ‘making music’ in the years to come, saying;

“The announcement is that I am not going to be touring anymore, apart form the last tour, which is going to start in September of this year. It’ll be a global tour. And it’s the last time that I will be touring and traveling the world. My priorities have changed in my life. Ten years ago, if you’d had said I have to stop touring, I’d say, ‘No, no. I’m a working man,'” John said, adding, “I’ve had an amazing life. I’ve had an amazing career. I’ve been incredibly lucky. My life has changed. The priorities of my life have changed. My priorities now are my children, my husband and my family. I’ve been touring since I was 17 in various bands, and as Elton John in 1969. And I thought the time is right to say thank you to all my fans around the world globally and to say goodbye and just to have a breathe.” The boys will join him for nine months with a tutor, he said. “When I stop they’re going to be 10 and 8, and that’s a very important time in their lives.”

The farewell tour will consist of 300 dates all around the world.
