Nearly a half-century after rocking Dodger Stadium for the first time, Elton John bid farewell to Los Angeles with his family on stage at the baseball stadium.
“Thank you all for dressing up," John said,"it makes me so happy when you wear the most fantastic costumes.”
John played “Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me” in tribute to the four bandmates who have died during his career, and after the first verse brought on another guest, shouting, “ladies and gentleman, Brandi Carlile!” “I can’t tell you how it feels to be 75 years old and to have the No. 1 record around the world,” John said after. “And this was my very first hit, 52 years ago.”
The concert, which streamed live on Disney+, was the last of a three-night stand at the stadium . The Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour began in September 2018 with the first of the 300-plus scheduled dates. It was suspended in 2020 because of the COVID pandemic and resumed in 2021.
