He wanted to do something meaningful and emotional that was truly significant.
He did just that in a historic global live streaming concert on Disney+ in November.
And we wanted to end in Los Angeles because my career started in America at The Troubadour in 1970.
And then we did the the wonderful concert in 75 at Dodger Stadium.
He continued: I couldnt have been happier with the way it all turned out.
I mean, we did three shows, and obviously the last night was the live show.
There was so many cameras and so many bells and whistles going on.
… it felt magical.
Luckily, it was magical.
And in a way I think the fans would expect … a bit of larger than life.
Furnish said they also wanted to honor the gravitas of those songs and the way theyve touched peoples lives.
There was a huge amount going into it, he said.
Youre not going to let Elton down or David or Disney.
But it was a huge production.
Johns tour is going to wrap up in Sweden this summer and he swears this is it.
He wants to spend more time with his family, including Furnish and their two young sons.
Never say never again?
Im not going to tour again, he said.
There may be the odd show, but Im not touring.
Touring is exhausting for me now, and it takes me away from my family and my children.
I finish on July the 8th, and Im not concentrating on anything else apart from that date.
And then I have a little bit of freedom.
But I would have done 330 shows on this tour by that point.
