Sir Elton John has announced a string of dates in the UK as part of his huge three year long Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.

The 71 year old will play a series of arena shows across the country during November and December 2020, including a date at the First Direct Arena in Leeds.

An 'emotional' farewell

Sir Elton announced his farewell world tour earlier this year, deciding to bow out of live performing after more than half a century to spend more time with his children.

The mammoth final tour will span five continents, visiting North American, Europe, Asia, South America and Australasia, with the singer playing more than 300 shows around the world up until 2021.

He will play two UK dates next year, before returning again in November 2020 to bid an "emotional" goodbye to the UK.

The performer said, "The Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour will take us to many places that have meant a lot to me over the last 50 years, but these UK shows will be incredibly special.

"The UK is home, and where my heart will always be.

"To celebrate some of the incredible moments we've shared with my British fans over the years will be wonderful.

"These homecoming shows will be very emotional, and a lot of fun."

Ticket prices have yet to be officially confirmed, but those wanting to attend could be looking at a hefty sum.
