This Saturday, Elton John said goodbye to the stage after finishing his extensive Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour in Stockholm, Sweden. The British artist gave an emotional farewell concert with which he ended his 52 years of live shows.

Finally, Elton John concluded the tour that began in 2018 and was interrupted by the pandemic.
