January 24, 2018Confession: I really like Elton John’s music.
That may not be typical of a 27 year old… but when have I ever really been a typical 27 year old?
Anyway… Elton has announced he’s retiring. He’s doing one last tour.. and then the sun’s going down on him (or at least his touring career.)

According to TMZ:
Elton John is giving touring one last shot, and then he’s saying farewell to life on the road.
Elton just sat down with Anderson Cooper to announce a world tour, saying it’ll span over the course of the next 3 years. The singer says he wants to spend more time with his husband, two kids and family so he’s calling it quits.
He made this announcement with a trippy, half-an-hour long video:
Cool.
Anyway
The 70-year-old legend has been on the road for almost 50 years. His first big hit, “Your Song” was released in 1970.
I LOVE that song.
Here it is…. because I had to:
Oh, my heart. This song makes me cry every time, folks. I have a tender heart, ok?
What’s unclear … will he continue his Vegas residency after his farewell tour?
One thing we know … he won’t stop performing. Our Elton sources say the announcement is ONLY about touring.
THANK GOD.
I just moved about an hour and a half away from Vegas, and I’m realizing that seeing Elton is on my bucket list.
I will seriously kick myself if I don’t get there.
Here’s another of my favorites, because I’m feeling all kinds of nostalgic…
(YES. 27 year olds can get nostalgic for Elton John. Step off.)
