Elton John is a British singer, pianist and composer. He has collaborated with lyricist Bernie Taupin since 1967 and is one of the most successful artists of all time, having sold over 300 million records worldwide in a six-decade career in music.[1][2][3][4] From starting his music career in 1969 to retiring from touring in 2023, John did over 4,000 concert performances in more than 80 countries.[5][6]
John's first tour was the 1970 World Tour, which began in support of his second album Elton John. Between 1979 and 2014, John toured Israel and the USSR with Ray Cooper in a total 234 concerts.[7] Between 1994 and 2010, John toured extensively with fellow pianist and musician Billy Joel in the "Face to Face" tours, which became the longest running and most successful concert tandem in pop music history.[8] John's most recent tour is the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, intended as John's final tour which concluded in July 2023.[9] John has said that he will continue to "do the odd show" despite his retirement from touring.
