Elton John Expected To Break Record For TopGrossing Tour

    Elton John is set to smash Ed Sheeran’s record for the top grossing concert tour ever.

    According to Billboard Boxscore, the 75-year-old’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour has grossed a staggering $749.9 million (all figures U.S.) since it launched in 2018 – putting him about $26.5 million away from Sheeran’s Divide Tour haul.

    John still has 60 shows to go, from January through July.

    Farewell Yellow Brick Road recently surpassed U2’s 360 Tour ($736.4 million) to take second place.

    The tour included 20 shows in Canada – in Vancouver, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa Montreal and Quebec City. In Toronto alone, John performed for more than 305,000 fans over six shows.

    Earlier this year, Pollstar ranked John as the third-biggest touring act of the past 40 years behind The Rolling Stones and U2, with $1.7 billion in revenues.
