Elton John has finally announced the return of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour. The rock icon revealed the long-awaited final dates of his last big shows on Wednesday. The 30-date performances will span North America and Europe, wrapping up an epic goodbye that he began back in January 2018 (the concerts were halted by the COVID-19 pandemic). John will kick off his comeback May 27, 2022, in Frankfurt, Germany, before bouncing around Europe and North America, with his final two North American shows landing at Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium in November 2020. The singer famously played the baseball stadium in the 1970s, rocking a bedazzled Dodger uniform. Elton John. Mackenzie Sweetnam/WireImage "Hello, all you wonderful fans out there.
