John originally announced his final tour before retiring from live music in 2018, after half a century of touring.

“My priorities have changed,” John told guests during the press conference at Gotham Hall in New York. “My priorities are my children, my husband and my family.”

The plan was to play 300 shows over three years, but this was interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.

“I thought the time was right to say thank you to all my fans around the world globally and then just say goodbye and have a breather. It’s not to say I’m not going to be creative anymore.”

The 74-year-old said if he were to play live again after the Yellow Brick Road tour was completed, it would be “a residency like Kate Bush”.

“I don’t want to go out with a whimper – I want to go out with a big bang.”

John still plans to continue making albums and releasing music after the tour ends.
