Farewell Yellow Brick Road is a full-color celebration of Elton John‘s record-breaking, globe-spanning farewell tour—from Allentown to Auckland, from Sydney to San Francisco.

On this epic visual journey, Elton reaches back in time to reflect on key moments from his life on the road and to reminisce about the beginning of his career. Readers also get a rare glimpse at Elton’s personal archive of posters, sketches, and never-before-seen photographs and postcards. A poignant foreword by David Furnish, Elton’s husband and manager, as well as the tour’s creative director, rounds out this incredible insider’s look. Join Elton on his remarkable, career-affirming farewell.
