PHOENIX — Saturday night IS alright!
Arizonans, this Saturday is (most likely) your last chance to see music legend Elton John in the Grand Canyon State.
Elton John announced in 2018 that the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour will be his last. The tour kicked off in September 2018 and will consist of more than 300 shows across five continents before the final performance in 2021.
The tour will mark the end of Sir Elton John's half-century on the road. According to the superstar's website, the tour stage production will take fans on a musical and highly visual journey spanning a 50-year career of hits. Think: "Bennie and The Jets," "Tiny Dancer," "Your Song"— the list goes on and on.
The Rocket Man will take the stage at Gila River Arena in Glendale on Jan. 26. Tickets are still available.
