Elton John's Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour came to an end on Saturday in Stockholm, Sweden, five years after he first announced it at a press conference.
The tour, marked as the singer's goodbye to touring after 50 years on the road, has entertained more than 6.25 million fans since it kicked off Sept. 10, 2018.
During the show, Coldplay appeared via a live video link-up from their concert in Gothenburg, Sweden. The band's frontman, Chris Martin, told John that he and the world were grateful for all John has done for the fight against AIDS, the fight for LGBTQ rights, and all he's done for "fashion and eyewear" and "sexiness and love."
