The countdown is officially on, and it's just under the one-year mark: Legendary piano man Elton John will rock Vancouver for two nights next September as part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour.

John will be at Rogers Arena in Vancouver September 21 and 22, 2019.
And this really is a farewell. John, 71, is planning to hang up his hat after this last round of shows. But it's a pretty massive swan song; John will play over 300 shows spanning five continents on the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour.
“It’s time to come off the road so I can fully embrace the next important chapter of my life," says John.
Tickets for the two 2019 Vancouver shows go on sale October 5.
John is always a fun celeb to be on the lookout for when he comes in to town--mainly because he always makes it a point to visit local music shops. When he was in Vancouver in early 2017 the rocker stopped by Vinyl Records and Beat Street Records.
