“Absolute” announcements are never certain (how many said “for the last time” and then the last time was never?), But this one looks like it really is. Elton John he said it over and over again, without even too much emphasis: the one at the San Siro Stadium today, Saturday 4 June, could be his last concert in Italy. It is one of the world stages of his “Farewell Yellow Brick Road. The Final TourWhich, which started in 2018, was sold out everywhere.
A great show, with a lineup that draws from a life of songs: yes, there is “Bennie and the Jets“And there are also”Rocket Man“,”Candle In The Wind“,”Your Song“,”Daniel” And “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me“.
A memorable event, especially since, to be in the Lombard capital, Elton John will not participate directly in the Platinum party at the Palace, the superconcerto for the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s reign: his performance there, at his home, will in fact be pre -registered.
In short, an exit from the scene at the top, as only the very great can do: after winning an Oscar for the original song of the biographical film Rocketmanafter having topped the charts with Merry Christmas (sung with Ed Sheeran) e Cold Heart (with Dua Lipa), Elton prepares to leave the stage, although the tour is scheduled to end on July 8, 2023 in Stockholm.
