Elton John tour tickets: UK Farewell shows announced for 2020

Elton John has announced a string of UK dates as part of his huge farewell tour.

The 71-year-old, who is calling it a day after more than half a century of performing, will play a series of arena shows across the country in November and December 2020.

The UK leg of the tour will kick off with two dates in London, at the 20,000-capacity O2 Arena.

John, who has sold well over 300 million records in his career, said: “The Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour will take us to many places that have meant a lot to me over the last fifty years, but these UK shows will be incredibly special.

“The UK is home, and where my heart will always be. To celebrate some of the incredible moments we’ve shared with my British fans over the years will be wonderful.”

Elton John has also been revealed as the face of this year's John Lewis advert, which tells the story of how a piano gift changed his life. You can watch it here.
