Elton John is nearly wrapping up his tour, with the final stop on June 25th at the UK’s Glastonbury Festival.

Elton chatted with the BBC about his post-touring plans, saying, “it’ll be very sporadic, I really don’t want to tour again. Doing a theatre thing for a few weeks might be appealing, but honestly, that’s in the dim and distant future. I’m not going back to Vegas. If I do anything, it will be here (in the UK). . . I do not want to fly anywhere (or) go anywhere, I just want to be still for a few months.”

Regarding his homeland farewell at Glastonbury, Elton revealed, “This is the first time I’ve been asked to play it. It’s come at the right time, I’m a great believer in serendipity and fate and this is the most wonderful way to sign off in England. . . I’ve got guests and I can’t tell you who they are.”

When asked about how his tour has been going so far, he said the “Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour” has been a kind of love letter between him and his fans: “It’s been everything I’d hoped it would be and more. The audiences have been amazing, dressing up. . . some of them have been to 150 shows, 300 shows. They’re treating it as a party, and that lifts my spirit every night. I have to say it’s been better than I could ever have imagined it to be. I’m happy in my personal life and my professional life, everything in my life is so wonderful. So I think that’s the reason why the performances really satisfy me.”
