Description

In this lavish retrospective authored by the icon himself, Elton John shares his fondest memories, most unforgettable moments, and previously untold stories from his record-breaking final tour.

Farewell Yellow Brick Road is a full-color celebration of Elton John's record-breaking, globe-spanning farewell tour--from the first show in Allentown, PA in 2018, to the final show in Stockholm in 2023. Featured concerts include Elton's dazzling performances at Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium in November 2022, the finale of which streamed live on Disney+. Fans will be treated to a behind-the-scenes glimpse into every aspect of these spectacular shows, including Elton's legendary touring wardrobe by Gucci, the set design, official tour photography, and more.

On this epic visual journey, Elton reaches back in time to reflect on key moments from his life on the road and to reminisce about the beginning of his career. Readers also get a rare glimpse at Elton's personal archive of posters, sketches, and never-before-seen photographs and postcards. A poignant foreword by David Furnish, Elton's husband and manager, as well as the tour's creative director, rounds out this incredible insider's look. Join Elton on his remarkable, career-affirming farewell.

Reviews

"In this lavish and colorful chronicle of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, Elton John begins by remembering the first time he performed before a live audience in 1964, 'when I was a schoolboy of sixteen.' . . . In addition to details on planning the tour, the book features fan remembrances and concert flashbacks. But what makes this volume a standout are the images, especially the fabulous costumes John has worn over the decades (such as the famous Donald Duck costume by designer Bob Mackie). This fun and warm-hearted celebration of a singular performer is as flamboyant and outrageous as Elton John himself." --Booklist (starred review)


"A must-have for fans and a fitting tribute to an amazing artist." --Library Journal (starred review)
