The words "Icon" and "Legend" are often over used. But Sir Elton John is both. Thank you Elton for your music, your generosity and humanity. There will never be another of your kind. Enjoy retirement.
Elton John retires as the highest grossing solo artist of all time (played live for tens of Millions of people) and the fifth highest selling artist of all time. What a legend! ❤
hes 3rd highest grossing solo artist(in album sales) and highest grossing artist in ticket sales for his tours. best live performer. performing consistently amazing for 53 years
Where would the AIDS situation be without the billions this man has raised? Thanks for your humanity, your music, the help and support you have given to well known stars of music and the big screen who had lost their way, your encouragement to new talent and for paying your UK taxes - unlike certain others who leg it abroad first chance their accountants can find a cheaper place to live.
PLEASE, PLEASE everyone do not forget at the heart of Eltons music is the lyrical genius of Bernie (Dirt Cowboy) Taupin... the reason Elton's music touches so many hearts and souls is not solely the music, we relate to the meaning, the message, the words just as much. Elton will appear on stage before the year is out.
I have been a lifelong Elton fan. Saw him live several times in the early 1980s, and about 4 years ago took my daughters to see him live in Omaha. I wanted my girls to hear this amazing artist live, for the last time. It's amazing he lasted this long, he probably would have died in the 1980s had he not gotten off of drugs. God bless you Elton John for sharing your amazing music with us all
When I am sad I only listen to Elton John when I am happy I listen to Elton John my 1st concert was1982 Boston garden and my last concer was Gillette stadium 2023 he is the best of all time Great to be able to see him All these years 40 times love him and his legacy thank you again Elton Hercules John God bless you and your family
I’m so happy, that I bought “Don’t shoot me, I’m only the piano player” in 1973 - I was 16…. and his songs followed me the next 40 years 🇬🇧 So lucky that Elton John is in my music memories - allways !!!!
Thank you for your wonderful music. In my life I had the opportunity to attend to three of your concerts. First was in London at the Drury Lane Theater where you were with Steve alone on stage... just marvelous. Then an open air in Nuremberg and your last concert in Nuremberg in the Arena. You will always stay in my heart with your music. Wish you many more years to come in health with your family! Sincerely yours😊
No sound or voice has influenced my life more or for as long (all 50 years) as Elton John. His voice, his music his sound has been the soundtrack of my life. No one's music has ever affected me more. Perhaps because he's my earliest musical influence. Hearing his old songs especially resonates me back to age 8, 9 and 10 (now 60). His early music especially was channeled through him from somewhere afar out if place and time. If course he wouldn't be who he became without Taupin. His band and Nigel too. Good Night Elton and God Bless. Btw, you bind me and my big sister together through thick and thin.
Thank you very much Mr. Elton John, for so much joy and emotion, the first time I heard it was in 1973, I was 10 years old, here in Brazil at a great friend's house, I believe he was the only one who had a stereo record player, at that time moment, his energy captivated me and since then I have been able to attend 4 of his shows here in Brazil, an example of a professional and a human being. thanks and long life.
Sir Elton John is incomparable, in his music and his character. He is one of the greatest musicians and humans to grace this planet! May God continue to bless him. So grateful for him and his music. 😭 watchung this. But then again I cried at every concert. It was amazing to even be in the same "room" with him, watching him perform. My all time favorite!
I was lucky enough to see this brilliant artist perform on July 5th, 1982, on a blistering hot day at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis for the VP Fair. I never realised back then as a 20 yr old how lucky and grateful I'd feel over 40 yrs later to have seen Elton play live. What a musician. What a career. Everything comes to an end.....even the Yellow Brick Road. I'm glad it ran through my entire adult life.
What an absolutely fitting way to celebrate the end of a magnificent career spanning 5+ decades, by going back to the beginning! I’ve been an Elton John fan since forever, I guess! The first piece of music I ever bought with my own money contained these last two songs. I wish you only the very best of everything in your retirement, Sir Elton John! Thank you so very much for the wonderful music and the memories!
Ich hörte, daß Sir Elton noch ab und an einen Auftritt haben wird... Zum Glück für uns. Ich finde ihn und seine Musik ei nach legendär. Danke... Thank you...❤
Without doubt one of the GREATEST artists of modern history, I was lucky enough to meet him twice, in 1984 and 1990, and saw him in concert 6 times. His music has been a huge part of my life, and like so many I will miss his music and huge personality. Enjoy the well earned retirement Elton!
Thank you, Sir Elton John, for sharing your artistry, your passion, and your love with the world. You are a true musical legend, and your music will forever hold a special place in our hearts.💗💗💗
What a legend ! Thank you for everything you Have meant to so many thru the years . We love you and will keep your music in our hearts and playing always ❤
I was so happy and grateful to be able to attend your final farewell concert in Long Island New York last march! You are so amazing and thank you for all the wonderful music I simply adore you! I am sad that we will not see you in concert anymore but certainly understand! Here’s to you sir Elton John! 💙💙💙
I have been lucky enough to see him live 29 times. The first was on July 4, 1976...the Bicentennial at Foxboro. It was the best night of my life complete with fireworks...
The ending made me emotional. watching Elton John walk down the Yellow Brick Road for the last time and fading away. It's like watching the end of an era and a part of my life saying goodbye. and it also makes me feel old and makes me reflect on my own life. I can remember being in my youth and hearing Bennie and the Jets for the first time. and thought it was such a cool and amazing song. and Elton was young and on top of the world, but now I am watching him retire, and other rock stars I grew up with passing away and have gone down their own yellow brick road. or highway to hell. or stairway to heaven. or maybe they just all checked into the Hotel California. I don't know, but they all added something to my life growing up. goodbye Elton. enjoy the next chapter of your life with your family.
I’ve absolutely adored you since my teenage years! I’m sorry you won’t be touring anymore but you deserve time with your children and family. Please keep creating one great song after another.
My gift is my song, and this ones for you........ thanks Sir Elton. Life is wonderdul because you were in it! A true , true , legend . Enjoy your retirement, we certainly have enjoyed you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't know why but I was actually a little shocked when I saw him remove his glasses. Has he ever done that at a show?? Like I mean for an extended period where he wasn't performing?? It felt like a show of respect to let them see him totally without any of the theatrics or crazy costumes or well crazy or extra special looking glasses. Congrats to him.
Goodbye Sir Elton John. I saw him live in 2019 & it was crazy, amazing, fantastic. Thank you for your music & the feelings i had while listening to it. Cheers
Went to his concert in 2019 in NYC.....best concert ever. The ending of his concert got me teary eyed....there will never be another great artist like Elton John. He surpassed Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. People should really pay attention to this....He is still standing today 🎉
@lessamuels3767 talking about death...Elton surpassed her. If only she would have cleaned up, then she would not be dead. Neither would her daughter. It is sad how they ended.
The music, the words and the unforgettable images on screen just made me cry. At 8:57 John Lennon gets on stage with Elton at Madison Square Garden. At 9:12 Elton dressed as Donald Duck dances while a very young and skinny Tim Renwick plays his sunburst Les Paul at Central Park...this man is just musical history...The Live Aid footage...wow!!! I feel so privileged to have known such a music icon, to have been lucky to see him live and to say that I love Elton John and I love his music. Thank you, thank you Elton, you've made my life much more enjoyable and happy...Thank you
I'm sorry I didn't see you in Auckland even though we tried twice to make the concert work. All the best & enjoy being around your family. Maybe we'll see you doing some charity events. Thank you for all your great music over the years of me growing up. You are my legend 😊🫶 I will be listening to your music via CD. Love you Elton John 🫶🤗
I am so very glad you recorded this & put on your channel. 💘🪽🥰🎹🎹🎹🫂🤗🥲my brother is Kim, ej's keyboardist, you can *kind of* see him on the stage. I wished I could have been there in person... This is the next best thing.
Can't THANK YOU ENOUGH SIR ELTON JOHN! You'll always be my ROCKET MAN! FOR SOMEONE OF YOUR CALIBRE YOU'RE A TRUE LEGEND AND GENTLEMAN! Keep following that YELLOW BRICK ROAD!😘 Enjoy your retirement with your family!💯☝️🎼🌹🎤🎹🔥💓😥❣️😘🌟
not in person, but I was right there on disney plus watching his final show at dodger stadium! man, the tears I cried when goodbye yellow brick road came up and he walked off one final time. job well done, sir.
Love your singing.. Songs.. Voice.. Didn't you know? Exciting to hear this song again and Always.. ❤ Wishing you Elton.. well and the continuing the Music in your life.. The way you decide. With every farewell.. There is some kind of a new begining of what need to be done now or the Future. Good luck huge artist.
Thank you Sir Elton John for all your beautiful songs & your awesome showmanship. We will all miss your performances but, you certainly deserve your retirement & life with your husband & sons. May God bless 🙌 you as you continue down that beautiful Yellow Brick Road 🥰😘❤️ We'll always love you & everything you proudly stand for. I cried like a baby at the end of this video, knowing it was his last show...ever 😭 Absolutely beautiful ending.
Well, that was it. The end of the Yellow Brick Road. Thanks for everything Sir Elton.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂❤🎉BYE BYE ELTON JOHN, 😢😢😢😢I LOVE YOU😂😂😂❤🎉
You say so. I think he will eventually come back
@@sakioentertainment3004 Perhaps for a solo show
❤
Nothing is forever. All things must pass.
The world will never see the likes of this man again.
The words "Icon" and "Legend" are often over used. But Sir Elton John is both. Thank you Elton for your music, your generosity and humanity. There will never be another of your kind. Enjoy retirement.
Elton John retires as the highest grossing solo artist of all time (played live for tens of Millions of people) and the fifth highest selling artist of all time. What a legend! ❤
Não mais do que o Michael Jackson.
Not sure about that
hes 3rd highest grossing solo artist(in album sales) and highest grossing artist in ticket sales for his tours. best live performer. performing consistently amazing for 53 years
The legend of music you will be missed Elton John love all your songs
Taylor Swift I think is on her way to beating that for tour sales
Where would the AIDS situation be without the billions this man has raised?

Tears tears and more tears. I can't stand life flying by. Ty Elton. The earth grew up to u. Ohhh the memories 😢

You think so?
Elton, and Bernie , the perfect combination during 50 years. Listen to my Tribute to Elton on you tube - Richard Garrell- all the best

He stayed true to Himself, his Music and Fans. That says more about him then his music. EJ will live on...
I missed this concert due to family illness. Thank You Sir Elton John for all the music throughout the years. We love you ❤
You have been with me in one way or another those same 50 years, since I was 17. Thank you so much :)
I’m so happy, that I bought “Don’t shoot me, I’m only the piano player” in 1973 - I was 16…. and his songs followed me the next 40 years 🇬🇧
So lucky that Elton John is in my music memories - allways !!!!

Wish he had sung "Rocket Man"! My favorite! Happy well deserved retirement after 5 decades and enjoy the rest of your life Sir Elton John 🎉
My gift is my house where we both could live
Thank you for your wonderful music.
In my life I had the opportunity to attend to three of your concerts.
First was in London at the Drury Lane Theater where you were with Steve alone on stage... just marvelous. Then an open air in Nuremberg and your last concert in Nuremberg in the Arena.
You will always stay in my heart with your music. Wish you many more years to come in health with your family! Sincerely yours😊
Sorry Ray Cooper of course

Makes me happy that he still sounds terrific, he's going out on his terms and not embarrassing himself as others have done. Great career!!
He had one of the greatest send offs
So sad I never seen him live in concert once. I’ll always enjoy his Music and videos everyone shares! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Man, never being seen him in a live concert it's one of the saddest things for me too. 😞
Awesome performer aside, this world would be a much better place with more people like Sir Elton.
@ericd62 .Listening to the Legend that Elton is.Agree this World Would be a much place with more people like Sir ELTON. ❤️✨️✨️
