On June 25th, 2023, Elton John gave his final performance in his native England as part of his ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ tour. The grand finale took place at the renowned Glastonbury festival, marking a significant milestone in the singer's illustrious career. This event was not just another concert, but a heartfelt goodbye from the iconic musician to his home country.
A year after this memorable event, Elton John has released a video documenting the performance. The video provides an intimate look into the preparation that went into the show, including rehearsals of songs such as “Tiny Dancer,” which he performed with Brandon Flowers from The Killers. It also offers a glimpse backstage, and showcases some of his performance, which featured a slightly different set list from the rest of the tour.
The video highlights some unique moments from the show, including his cover of The Who's "Pinball Wizard," which opened the show, "Are You Ready for Love," and Stephen Sanchez's "Until I Found You," performed with Sanchez himself. Titled "The Road to Glastonbury," this just over six-minute film is now up on YouTube.
