Elton John?

[janisposh]

Tickets go on sale on Friday for his farewell tour.

AIBU to think he may not be as good at 73 compared with 25 years ago?

I bet he is. Maybe different - a bit - but still great. I love Elton John. Are the tickets very expensive?

I saw him around 4 years ago and he was bloody brilliant!

I also saw him about 4 years ago at our local sports stadium and it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.

He’s playing at a venue in out neatest city and we got tickets a while ago.

I’ve never seen him live so I won’t know but I’m dead excited!

Great singers often stay good. I saw Paul Simon a couple of years ago. His voice was gorgeous. And Suzanne vega's was better now than in her heyday.
Really glad you posted this. I didn;t know he was touring. Will look out for tickets.

I've seen him in concert 4 yrs ago he was bloody brilliant played all the hits. Amazing concert you will love it.

Farewell tour? Is that another way of saying he is retiring or has he had bad news?

He played in an obscure football club a few years ago. My friend lives near it, so organised a big BBQ that night. He sounded great and we were downwind and pissed.

Yes he is retiring. He has made no secret of the fact his farewell tour is exactly that.

It’s not so much his voice but his show I thought might be not as good iykwim

I saw him when he came to Ed Sheeran’s show at Wembley a couple of years ago. He was absolutely amazing! Would never have chosen to go to one of his shows but I’m so glad to have heard him sing live, a proper talent. Highlight of the gig tbh!

OMG HOW!!

He sounds great in the Snickers advert, tbf.

I've seen him twice and he was wonderful. He's getting on and probably wants to relax and enjoy his family. I doubt he'll retire from music totally though!

I saw him a couple of years ago and he was SO GOOD. I loved it.

He can't need more money and at 73 he's probably thinking he needs to spend time with his young kids while he can. Good decision to go out at the time of his choice.

Make sure you take a toy plush Disney lion king and hold it up during"Circle of Life" OP! 😀

A man who needed to hire a box van to get him to his fancy dress party because his costume couldnt fit in a car, and you think he wont be as good as he used to be?!

I think it'll be fine!

I used to work for him, he's an utter perfectionist. He wouldn't be doing it if he didn't think he'd smash it.

I'm waitlisted for tickets once they become available. Happy to give up my firstborn for a decent seat! (OK, well maybe not, but I will take him to see the show. I want him to get a decent musical education).

I think he will be good and he's very nice too so do go and support him if you can.

I don't think that, it was just a pondering really, I mean 73 is quite an age.

Watched him a couple years ago and he was absolutely incredible! No regrets
