TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Elton John will be coming to Tampa for his final tour before retiring from the road.
The 70-year-old artist made the announcement on Wednesday saying, “It’s time to come off the road so I can fully embrace the next important chapter of my life.”
His final tour, the “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour will span three years, wrapping up in 2021.
