The 76-year-old singer recently wrapped up his 330-date Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.

He announced in 2018 that the show would be his last, and the globetrotting crescendo to his live music career finished at the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm in July.

Farewell Yellow Brick Road is one of the highest-grossing concert tours since records began, with Billboard reporting that it is the first to have $900 million worth of ticket sales.

John said he has played to more than six million people since it began five years ago.

"I can't tell you how much I’m going to miss you all and how much your support has humbled me – it will stay with me forever," he wrote in an emotional post marking the end of the tour.
