NEW ZEALAND: British singer Elton John will hold his first of the three concerts in New Zealand’s two major cities on Tuesday, as part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour.
John will sing on Tuesday at Orangetheory Stadium, Christchurch, and another two rescheduled dates at Auckland’s Mt Smart Stadium on January 27 and January 28.
“It’s a fond farewell to a nation he first stepped foot in five decades ago,” organisers said. John added a new and final “encore” performance for Christchurch, which will be his first show in the city in over three decades for a final goodbye, organisers said.
John’s 50-year singing career redefined the cultural landscape and saw more than 300 million albums sold. His Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour starting in September 2018 was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
