Elton John Adds New U.S. Tour Dates with Matt Bissonette
Elton John’s massive farewell tour just got a bit bigger. The “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour, which began in 2018 and is slated to run through 2021, has added a new batch of dates in New York and New Jersey.
“Performing live fuels me and I’m ecstatic and humbled to continue to play to audiences across the globe. I plan to bring the passion and creativity that has entertained my fans for decades to my final tour,” John writes.
The new dates include two nights at Madison Square Garden on April 6th and 7th, which he will follow with a pair of shows at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on the 10th and 11th. He’ll then head to Newark, New Jersey on April 17th and 18th. The last of the new shows include two dates in Uniondale, New York on April 17th and 18th. The entire run is tucked into his current tour dates that run the entire globe.
The iconic singer has always had spectacular bassists in his band, including bassist Matt Bissonette, who joined the group in 2012 and has played over 550 shows with them. Prior to his work with John, he worked with artists ranging from Brian Wilson to A-HA to Rick Springfield to Joe Satriani.
Check out Bissonette performing “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me” with John and guest Lady Gaga:
