As a gamer, I’ve been part of Elton John’s epic, five-year-long Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour that spanned the globe and featured an incredible 330 concerts. This monumental journey marked his forty-ninth, and final, concert tour as a musical legend from England. Although the official performances ended on July 8, 2023 in Stockholm, Sweden, Elton John’s music tale doesn’t stop there. He continues to share his extraordinary experiences through his new release, “Farewell Yellow Brick Road: Memories of My Life on Tour.

In January 2024, it was announced that the legendary artist would be publishing his personal diary, containing both visual and written content. This long-awaited publication became available for purchase on September 24 at popular online retailers such as Walmart, Target, and Amazon. A special, limited-edition copy could also be found at Barnes & Noble, which came with a unique holographic cover and an exclusive Elton John poster as a bonus. Both editions are currently on sale.

In this captivating 256-page hardcover tome, I delve into my most cherished recollections, indelible experiences, and hitherto undisclosed anecdotes from the historic Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour. While the grand finale of this tour takes center stage, I also cast a nostalgic gaze back at the inception of my career and my years spent traversing the roads of music, reflecting on the journey that led me here.

Apart from written text, John also divulges his private collection of posters, sketches, unseen photos, and vintage postcards. The book titled “Farewell Yellow Brick Road: Memories of My Life on Tour” showcases the artist’s extraordinary Gucci outfits and lively stage designs. Moreover, this book is prefaced by a foreword penned by David Furnish, who is not only Elton John’s spouse but also his manager.
