Popular band Coldplay thanks Sir Elton for his contribution to music and Aids Foundation
On Saturday evening, Sir Elton John concluded his last European tour with a poignant two-hour concert in Stockholm, nearly ending his fifty-year career that has involved thousands of performances across the globe.
The After All singer, 76, told his fans: “It’s been my lifeblood to play for you guys, and you’ve been absolutely magnificent, and he praised his band, “They’re really incredible. They are the best, I tell you, the best.”
Coldplay played in Sweden on the same day and played a
prerecorded video tribute for the music icon. Frontman Chris Martin said,
“From all the bands and artists you’ve helped and inspired, we love you so
much.”
“We are so grateful for everything you’ve done for the
Aids Foundation, anytime you’ve been kind to anybody.”
The music
icon’s final performance began with Bennie and the Jets and featured a
compilation of his most renowned hits from the last five decades. The
concert concluded with the legendary track Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
His
Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, which commenced in 2018, has entertained
over six million fans and is recognized by Billboard magazine as the first
tour to surpass ticket sales of $900 million.
Last month, the
singer-songwriter made his debut appearance at the Glastonbury Festival as
the headline act.
