“couldn’t have forseen in my wildest dreams” – Elton John
Taking to Instagram, Elton John wrote that the fact that his touring career is over will not “sink in for a while”.
“When we set off on my final tour in 2018, I couldn’t have foreseen in my wildest dreams the twists and turns and the highs and lows this tour – and the whole world – would have experienced in the next 5 years”, the music icon wrote.
“And every step of the way, my fans have been there. You have stuck with me, you have supported me, you have been patient and you have kept turning out for every single last show”, he added.
“Saturday night was magical. I’m trying to process it and I don’t think it will sink in for a while yet that I’m finally finished touring”.
“I can’t tell you how much I’m going to miss you all and how much your support has humbled me – it will stay with me forever”.
Included in the post was a video shared by Elton John, of a montage showing highlights from his tour.
