Elton John is coming back to NZ for his tour!

Elton John has kept his promise and will bring his "Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour" to New Zealand early next year.

"In 2020 I promised that when I came back to finish my interrupted farewell, I'd perform some encore shows. I love your part of the world dearly and cannot wait to share these concerts with you!" he wrote on Instagram.
