Sequined suits, bedazzled baseball outfits and oversized glitterised glasses were all out in fine form on Wednesday night as thousands flocked to Manchester's AO Arena to see one of the best-selling artists of all time in one of their last ever shows.
Elton John has long stated that his Farewell Yellow Brick Road will be his last ever tour. While the likes of Cher have loosely used the lure of a ‘farewell tour’ before, it’s hard not to believe him on his word.
While still a fierce performer, the 76-year-old has now been touring the show on and off 311 times around the world since 2018. It’s officially the highest-grossing tour of all time and it’s a fitting goodbye to fans who have lived, breathed and grown up with Elton’s music for the last 50 years.
