Elton John performed the last concert of his farewell tour over the weekend in Stockholm Sweden. He told the audience that it was 52 years to the day that he first played there.
Before his last song, “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” he thanked his fans, band, and family during an emotional speech and said, “I’ve had the most wonderful career. Beyond belief. 52 years of pure joy of playing music. How lucky am I to play music?”
He went on to say, “It's been my lifeblood to play for you guys and you've been absolutely magnificent. Thank you!”
