Two nights only!
Elton John will finally wrap his farewell tour in Mexico City, three years after it officially ended. The music icon, who was forced to cancel a number of shows there due to COVID-19 at the time, will perform two shows at Mexico City's Estadio Banorte on Oct. 2 and 3.
"Mexico City has always held a special place in my heart," the "Your Song" hitmaker said in a statement, per Rolling Stone. "I was truly disappointed that the pandemic kept me from touring Latin America during my Farewell tour which makes this return especially meaningful. I'm thrilled to finally share this very special moment with my fans after all these years."
The legendary musician performed a total of 330 shows on his "Farewell Yellow Brick Road" tour over the course of five years before it concluded in Stockholm in 2023.
Per John's official website, "the evening is "designed as a heartfelt celebration honoring both the artist and a city that has held onto the memory and celebrated his music for years."
Tickets go on sale to the general public on July 16 at 12 p.m. local time.
